    China's Foreign Policy Think Tanks: Explaining Institutional Developments and Shifting Roles Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie am Fachbereich Sozialwissenschaften der Universität Hamburg vorgelegt von Pascal Abb aus München Hamburg, 2013 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Patrick Köllner, Universität Hamburg Zweitgutachterin: Prof. Dr. Heike Holbig, Universität Frankfurt a.M. Ort und Datum der Disputation: Hamburg, 5. November 2013 2 This thesis was written as the result of a dissertation project funded by the Landesexzellenzinitiative Hamburg, which allowed me to participate in the Hamburg International Graduate School for the Study of Regional Powers, jointly organized by the University of Hamburg and the GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies. Due to this grant, I was able to pursue my own studies by linking up with GIGA´s China specialists, conducting the necessary field research trips, and taking advantage of internal review mechanisms to improve the quality of my work. This thesis not have been completed without the excellent supervision of Patrick Köllner, who went out of his way to provide very speedy, thorough and insightful commentary on my drafts. Heike Holbig and Nele Noesselt also offered very valuable suggestions on how to improve parts of this thesis from a sinological perspective. My colleague Nadine Godehardt shared her experience on conducting research in China and introduced me to some of her contacts there, giving me a leg up on my own work. During my own trips to Beijing and Shanghai, I was able to take advantage of the hospitality of China Foreign Affairs University and Fudan University, allowing me to gather first-hand knowledge about these institutions and witnessing the education of China´s next generation of IR specialists.

  • 2012 Tong Shijun | East China Normal University HARVARD-YENCHING
    2012 HARVARD-YENCHING IDEAS OF THE UNIVERSITY IN CHINA: INSTITUTE WORKING A CRITICAL REVIEW PAPER SERIES Tong Shijun | East China Normal University IDEAS OF THE UNIVERSITY IN CHINA: A CRITICAL REVIEW Tong SHIJUN Department of Philosophy, East China Normal University In last few decades Chinese universities have developed tremendously in material, technical and professional terms. During this period there has been another change that is perhaps more important, though less prominent, one I would like to call a “cultural turn” of Chinese universities, which is expressed most clearly in the fact that many people, especially university leaders, are talking about the idea of the university in general and the ideas guiding particular universities. In this chapter I try to describe this phenomenon and explain its background and implications. 1. SCHOLAR, SPACE AND SPIRIT: GROWING INTERESTS IN “THE IDEA OF THE UNIVERSITY” IN CHINA Although in 1983 a book in Chinese with the title of The Idea of the University1 was already published by Jin Yaoji, then the vice chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and similar discourse was started in Taiwan slightly later,2 when I proposed to a young editor of a journal in Shanghai towards the end of 1999 that it might be interesting to write something on the idea of the university, the phrase “the idea of the university” seemed to impress her very much as something quite new in the Mainland. I was too busy to write on it after I proposed this title, so the young editor pushed me again and again, and the strongest argument was that she had invited several scholars to write on this topic and Professor Xie Xide, the former President of Fudan University, was one of them, and although she was too ill to write herself, she had agreed to publish her interviews with that editor in which she expressed her last 1 Jin Yaoji (1983) The Idea of the University [da xue zhi li lian.] Taibei: Times Cultural Publishing Company [shi bao wen hua chu ban gong si.] This book was later reprinted many times in Hong Kong and Beijing.

The visit helped lay the foundation for scientific and educational exchanges between the two countries since the late 1970s, including the studies of Chinese graduate students and visiting scholars in the USA to this date. Born to a family of a physician father, Breslow’s interest in chemistry was sparked in middle school when he was given a textbook of college organic chemistry. He often conducted chemistry experiments in the family basement, including trying to make aromatic compounds with silicon instead of carbon [6]. At times compounds young Breslow Dr. Ronald Breslow made sent a tremendous smell to the house and his father's office which was attached to the house, often making his father’s patients go screaming.

This provides an opportune moment to review HKUST’s development during the years of British administration. The planning of the University started in September 1986 and the first Univer- sity Council was formed in April 1988. The found- ing President (called Vice-Chancellor initially) was in post in September 1988. The University opened for classes in October 1991, producing the first batch of graduates in June 1993. By the start of this academic year, the Univer- sity had reached its designated target of 7,000 student population. The actual numbers as of 30 June 1997 were 5,550 undergraduate and 1,338 postgraduate students.
