  • A Discursive Project of Low-Carbon City in Shenzhen, China
    Anti-Carbonism or Carbon Exceptionalism: A Discursive Project of Low-Carbon City in Shenzhen, China Yunjing Li Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 2019 Yunjing Li All rights reserved ABSTRACT Anti-Carbonism or Carbon Exceptionalism: A Discursive Project of Low-Carbon City in Shenzhen, China Yunjing Li As the role of cities in addressing climate change has been increasingly recognized over the past two decades, the idea of a low-carbon city becomes a dominant framework to organize urban governance and envision a sustainable urban future. It also becomes a development discourse in the less developed world to guide the ongoing urbanization process. China’s efforts toward building low-carbon cities have been inspiring at first and then obscured by the halt or total failure of famous mega-projects, leading to a conclusion that Chinese low-carbon cities compose merely a strategy of green branding for promoting local economy. This conclusion, however, largely neglects the profound implications of the decarbonization discourse for the dynamics between the central and local governments, which together determine the rules and resources for development practices. The conclusion also hinders the progressive potentials of the decarbonization discourse in terms of introducing new values and norms to urban governance. This dissertation approaches “low-carbon cities” as a part of the decarbonization

  • The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics
    Li, China Leadership Monitor No.4 The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics Cheng Li China’s ongoing political succession has been filled with paradoxes. Jockeying for power among various factions has been fervent and protracted, but the power struggle has not led to a systemic crisis as it did during the reigns of Mao and Deng. While nepotism and favoritism in elite recruitment have become prevalent, educational credentials and technical expertise are also essential. Regional representation has gained importance in the selection of Central Committee members, but leaders who come from coastal regions will likely dominate the new Politburo. Regulations such as term limits and an age requirement for retirement have been implemented at various levels of the Chinese leadership, but these rules and norms will perhaps not restrain the power of Jiang Zemin, the 76-year-old “new paramount leader.” While the military’s influence on political succession has declined during the past decade, the Central Military Commission is still very powerful. Not surprisingly, these paradoxical developments have led students of Chinese politics to reach contrasting assessments of the nature of this political succession, the competence of the new leadership, and the implications of these factors for China’s future. This diversity of views is particularly evident regarding the ubiquitous role of mishu in the Chinese leadership. The term mishu, which literally means “secretary” in Chinese, refers to a range of people who differ significantly from each other in terms of the functions they fulfill, the leadership bodies they serve, and the responsibilities given to them.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE GUANGDONG: FROM ECONOMIC PIONEER TO LEADER IN POLITICAL REFORM? JARLENE CHOY Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in International Politics with honors in International Politics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Gretchen Casper Associate Professor of Political Science and Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Michael Berkman Professor of Political Science Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT My thesis is on the economic development of Guangdong and how it could contribute to political liberalization in the province. I will examine the political relationship between the southern Chinese province, Guangdong, and the capital, Beijing. I will research how Guangdong’s geographical distance from Beijing in the north has historically allowed it to be a more politically "independent-minded" province. I plan to research centralized vs. local government control between Beijing and Guangdong at the national, provincial, prefectural and county levels. I plan to examine the pattern of Guangdong’s local political appointments, their political and personal backgrounds, and how closely they implement policies ordered by the central government in Beijing. Guangdong is worth examining because it has historically been a center for revolutionary activities. Guangzhou warrants further study because it is a city of major economic and historical importance to China, despite often being politically overshadowed by Shanghai and Beijing. Guangzhou is the third largest Chinese city and the largest mainland economy in terms of GDP as of 2007. Guangdong province will be compared with Hong Kong due to its geographical proximity and economic cooperation.

To be sure, the formal “org. chart” of global power is still dominated by the vertically structured super- polities that gradually evolved out of the republics and monarchies of early modern Europe, the colonies they established in the New World, and the older empires of Asia. Th ough not the most populous nation in the world, the United States is certainly the world’s most powerful state, despite—or perhaps because of—the peculiarities of its political system. Its nearest rival, the People’s Republic of China, is usually seen as a profoundly diff erent kind of state, for while the United States has two major parties, the People’s Republic has one, and only one. Th e US government is founded on the separation 159 119106-Shultz_BeyondDisruption.indd9106-Shultz_BeyondDisruption.indd 159159 33/23/18/23/18 77:12:12 PMPM 160 Niall Ferguson of powers, not least the independence of its judiciary; the PRC subordi- nates all other institutions, including the courts, to the dictates of the Communist Party.
