Este blog trata basicamente de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. Ele também se ocupa de ideias aplicadas à política, em especial à política econômica. Ele constitui uma tentativa de manter um pensamento crítico e independente sobre livros, sobre questões culturais em geral, focando numa discussão bem informada sobre temas de relações internacionais e de política externa do Brasil.

Webinar on new China leaders and the US

Announcing a Webinar/Teleconference on
China’s New Leaders:
Implications for Foreign Policy and U.S.-China Relations.

Monday, November 19, 2012
1:30 to 3:00 p.m. ET
Exclusively avaialable via web or teleconference

Featuring

Jacques deLisle, Director FPRI Asia Program
    University of Pennsylvania Law School
June Teufel Dreyer, Senior Fellow, FPRI, University of Miami
Vincent Wang, Senior Fellow, FPRI, University of Richmond

China’s top leaders, headed by Xi Jinping as Party General Secretary
and President and Li Keqiang as Premier, formally take power at the
Chinese Communist Party’s  Congress in November (with state and
government positions formally conferred at the National People’s
Congress meeting the following spring). The full line-up of the ruling
Politburo Standing Committee remained uncertain on the eve of the
meeting, with a once-orderly if secretive arrangement thrown into tumult
by the Bo Xilai affair.  Even in less tumultuous times, China’s leadership
succession process means that observers have only limited clues about
future leaders’ policy agendas. Further complicating the implications for
China’s foreign policy and U.S.-China relations is the U.S. presidential
election, held just days before China’s Party Congress.  An FPRI webinar
discusses what to expect from China’s new leaders in terms of policy
toward the U.S., East Asia, cross-Strait relations, international economic
and security affairs and issues of domestic policy that affect China’s
place in the world. Panelists include FPRI senior scholars
Jacques deLisle, June Teufel Dreyer, and Vincent Wang.
