SUMMARY:CLA Academics Speaker Series: Professor Mark Jia
DESCRIPTION:China Law Association (student organization) event: \nCLA Academics Speaker Series: Professor Mark Jia\nTime: Thursday\, April 16\, 5-6 PM\nLocation: Zoom \nHarvard Law School China Law Association (CLA) is excited to host Professor Mark Jia (J.D. ’16) of Georgetown University Law Center\, for a discussion of his upcoming paper\, “Law Power.” \n\nInternational relations scholars have long debated the military\, economic\, and cultural dimensions of national power. Yet in new age of great power competition\, we lack a general theory of national legal power comparable to these more familiar forms of national power. Drawing on legal scholarship across many specific settings\, this Article introduces a general concept of law power—a nation-state’s ability to use law to affect others to get what it wants. Law power can be soft\, hard\, or sharp\, and can involve local\, foreign\, or international law. In today’s juridified geopolitics\, law power is a leading form of national power. \nProfessor Jia is a scholar of comparative and transnational law\, with particular focus on the United States and China. His research broadly seeks to understand the relationship between law and authoritarianism and between law and geopolitics. His work has won the 2022 Mark Tushnet Prize from the Association of American Law School’s Section on Comparative Law\, the 2024 Scholarship Prize from the American Society of International Law’s International Law and Technology Interest Group\, and the 2025 Privacy Papers for Policymakers Award from the Future of Privacy Forum. \nIf you are interested in attending the event\, please RSVP. The Zoom link and draft paper will be circulated to those who RSVP by Tuesday April 14. \nFor any questions\, please feel free to reach out to Shengdong Guo (sguo@sjd.law.harvard.edu)\, or Zeqing Li (zli@jd27.law.harvard.edu).

SUMMARY:Colonization\, Mass Independence Movement\, and Korean Bureaucrats
DESCRIPTION:Korea Institute SBS Seminar \nJi Yeon Hong\nAssociate Professor of Political Science and Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies\, University of Michigan \nJi Yeon (Jean) Hong is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies. Her research examines the political economy of authoritarianism\, with a focus on East Asia.

Her work has appeared in the American Journal of Political Science\, British Journal of Political Science\, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization\, Journal of Politics\, Political Science Research and Methods\, and Science Advances\, among others. She currently serves as an Associate Editor of Political Science Research and Methods. Prior to joining the University of Michigan\, she was on the faculty of the Division of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Politics at New York University. \nChaired by Hojung Joo\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Government\, Harvard University \nAbstract:\nStates in transition face acute constraints in building effective governments. A central challenge is recruiting bureaucrats who possess local knowledge while remaining loyal to the ruling authority. This problem is especially salient in colonial settings. This study examines how colonial states managed their bureaucracies and how mass resistance reshaped them. Focusing on Japanese colonial rule in Korea\, we collect and analyze data on all bureaucrats employed in the Government General of Korea during 1910 and 1942. We identify officials’ ranks\, offices\, and work units to evaluate patterns of recruitment\, promotion\, and unit assignment. We then link these data to detailed records of protest events from the March First Movement of 1919\, the largest anti-colonial uprising in Korea. Our analysis shows that the colonial government initially relied heavily on local bureaucrats but steadily reduced its reliance on them over time. The mass independence movement affected the special patterns of expansion. Districts with higher protest intensity experienced significant bureaucratic expansion\, particularly in education\, yet this expansion did not increase Korean representation in core administrative positions. Korean officials faced persistent barriers to upward mobility\, while Japanese officials were disproportionately assigned to strategic sectors to enhance control. These findings demonstrate how colonial rulers managed colonial subjects\, particularly in the face of mass resistance\, and induced bureaucratic expansion and reorganization without meaningful local empowerment. \nEvent details can be found on the Korea Institute website.

SUMMARY:Asia and Asians at Harvard Conference
DESCRIPTION:Asia and Asians at Harvard Conference\n\n  \nHarvard’s enduring engagement with Asia has shaped scholarly inquiry\, public policy\, and campus life—within the University and across the region. This two-day conference convenes faculty\, students\, alumni\, and institutional partners from across Schools and disciplines to examine the evolving relationship between Harvard and Asia from the late nineteenth century to the present and to consider paths forward. \nThrough a series of presentations\, the program revisits formative encounters\, collaborations\, and institutional linkages; recognizes the contributions of Asian students\, scholars\, and visitors who have transformed fields and enriched the University; and offers an assessment of Harvard’s roles in U.S. policy\, development\, and institution-building in Asia\, acknowledging both contributions and consequences. \nLooking ahead\, the conference asks how Harvard can advance more inclusive\, equitable\, and regionally balanced approaches to the study of Asia and to University engagement with the region—strengthening partnerships\, deepening interdisciplinary research and teaching\, and enhancing public impact. \nRegistration is not required but appreciated for planning purposes. \n  \nTwo-Day Conference\nDay 1: Thursday\, November 13\, 2025\nCGIS South\, 1730 Cambridge Street\n4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.\nOpening and Introductions\nMichael Puett\, Victor and William Fung Foundation Director\, Harvard University Asia Center; Walter C.

SUMMARY:How Women’s Political Visibility in South Korea Shapes Legislators’ Behavior and Public Attitudes -- Soosun You
DESCRIPTION:Korea Institute SBS Seminar \n \nSoosun You\nAssistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania \nSoosun You is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania. She specializes in comparative politics\, gender and politics\, and political behavior\, with a regional focus on South Korea. Her research appears or is forthcoming in the Annual Review of Political Science and Journal of Law and Economics. She is also the founder of the Gender in Korea Reading Group\, which brings together scholars from diverse disciplines working on gender issues related to Korea. \nSoosun’s current book project explores how demographic shifts and changes in the marriage market have shaped the trajectory of women’s rights in South Korea. Drawing on a wide range of methods including archival work\, survey experiments\, and in-depth interviews\, the book examines the rise of anti-natalist and pro-natalist government policies and their consequences for women’s economic and political rights.  \nShe earned her PhD and MA in political science from UC Berkeley. She also has a master’s in public policy from Seoul National University. \nChaired by Hojung Joo\, Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Government\, Harvard University \nAbstract:\nIn this talk\, I explore how women’s presence in South Korean politics—both within legislatures and protest movements—shapes elite behavior and public attitudes. I argue that descriptive representation can foster substantive representation when everyday peer environments expose legislators and the public to women in politics. First\, I show that working alongside more women colleagues affects the policy-making process by increasing legislators’ engagement with gender equality issues\, drawing on data from legislative speeches\, plenary sessions\, and campaign manifestos. Second\, using a novel survey experiment conducted in South Korea\, I demonstrate that the salience of women’s participation in protest movements strengthens women’s political agency and shapes public perceptions of government legitimacy and democratic values. \nEvent details can be found on the Korea Institute website.

SUMMARY:Encountering Law: Legal Knowledge and Practice in Chosŏn Korea -- Jungwon Kim
DESCRIPTION:Korea Institute Korea Colloquium \nJungwon Kim\nKing Sejong Associate Professor of Korean Studies\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nChaired by Sun Joo Kim\, Harvard-Yenching Professor of Korean History\, Harvard University \nScholars have long assumed that Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910) lacked a distinctive system for cultivating legal professionals. Local magistrates and provincial governors\, serving as chief judicial officers in their jurisdictions\, were scholar-officials appointed through the civil service examination and often perceived as lacking formal legal training. Yet\, despite their abscence of structured legal education\, these officials demonstrated substantial knowledge of the law and significant practical administrative skills in legal matters. There were also legal specialists who underwent rigorous training\, passed examinations in law\, and were appointed to assist local governors with judicial tasks. Moreover\, numerous legal cases reveal that ordinary people\, much like the officials judging them\, displayed a surprising familiarity with the law. This talk explores how legal knowledge was generated\, disseminated\, interpreted\, and applied by various groups in Chosŏn society. Drawing on rich archival materials—including law books\, legal handbooks\, trial reports\, and other local-level governmental publications—it uncovers the multifaceted modes of producing and sharing legal information\, highlighting how legal literacy and knowledge facilitated access to justice and shaped the judicial process in Chosŏn Korea. \nJungwon Kim is King Sejong Associate Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. She specializes in the gender and legal history of premodern Korea\, with a focus on the Chosŏn Dynasty. She is the author of Virtue That Matters: Chastity Culture and Social Power in Chosŏn Korea\, 1392–1910 (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2025). Her other works include co-authoring Wrongful Death: Selected Inquest Records from Nineteenth-Century Korea (University of Washington Press\, 2014) and co-editing Beyond Death: The Politics of Suicide and Martyrdom in Korea (University of Washington Press\, 2019). She also edited the special issue Archives\, Archival Practices\, and the Writing of History in Premodern Korea (Journal of Korean Studies\, 2019). Currently\, she is working on a book manuscript tentatively entitled Families in Trials: Local Courts and Legal Culture in Chosŏn Korea. She earned her PhD from Harvard University\, taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) at Princeton. \nEvent details and Zoom registration link on the Korea Institute website (opens in a new tab).

SUMMARY:Lawfare in the 21st Century: The Constitutional Court vs Democracy in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Asia Center Thai Studies Seminar Series \nEugénie Mérieau\nAssociate Professor of Public Law\, University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne \nAgainst established theories linking constitutional courts to democratization\, the introduction of constitutional review in Thailand in the late 20th century has led to democratic breakdown in the 21st century. Since its creation\, the Thai Constitutional Court has dissolved most\, if not all\, of the pro-democracy\, anti-military political parties\, dismissed almost all elected prime ministers to date\, and paved the way for two military coups in 2006 and 2014. It has upheld the lese-majeste law and ruled any attempt to reform it as anticonstitutional\, while ruling democratic constitutional amendments as unconstitutional. This talk will analyze recent Thai Constitutional Courts cases targeting the youth movement and the Future Forward Party\, and offer reflections on the future of lawfare in Thailand. \nEugénie Mérieau is Associate Professor of Public Law at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne\, and a member of the Sorbonne Institute of Legal and Philosophical Research (CNRS). She is also an associate researcher at the Centre for International Research\, Sciences Po Paris\, and the Centre for Asian Legal Studies\, National University of Singapore. A specialist of authoritarian constitutionalism\, she has published extensively on Thai law and politics. Her latest book\, “Constitutional Bricolage : Thailand’s Sacred Monarchy vs the Rule of Law” was published by Hart in 2022. \nEvent details on the Asia Center website (opens in a new tab). \nSponsored by the Asia Center and the Thai Studies Program\, Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Rightscaling Cities: The Political Economy of City Territory in China
DESCRIPTION:Fairbank Center Urban China Lecture Series \nZhang Guanchi (S.J.D. 2023)\nAssistant Professor of Law\, Vermont Law and Graduate School \n \nHow has the rescaling of the city territories interacted with China’s political and economic transformation? During the country’s rapid industrialization and urbanization\, Chinese cities have exhibited a relatively low degree of territorial fragmentation. This study examines the institutional experiments that have reclassified\, redivided\, and recombined local government territory in the People’s Republic of China since 1949. I argue that the constant rescaling of cities is a distinctive and underestimated mechanism in the Chinese state’s steering of economic transformation. \nThrough extensive fieldwork and archival research\, I find that the question of city scale has been integral to China’s economic modernization for the last seven decades. The constant tensions between the metropolitan center and periphery have driven various territorial reforms\, both before and after the market-oriented reform. These reforms have profoundly shaped the state’s economic development projects. I argue that\, over time\, metropolitan governments emerge as the primary scale for inter-local competition and coordination. While this particular territorial choice has contributed to China’s economic rise\, its entrenchment has ramifications for the country’s current challenges. \nGuanchi Zhang is an Assistant Professor of Law at Vermont Law and Graduate School. His research interests lie at the intersection of law\, urban studies\, and political economy. His current research projects focus on two primary areas of inquiry: the rise and fall of efforts to rightscale cities in China and the United States\, and the role of housing and zoning laws in the context of growing geographic disparities. \nEvent details and Zoom registration link on Fairbank Center website (will open in a new tab). \nSponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.

SUMMARY:Can Regulation Revive China’s Sagging Economy?
DESCRIPTION:Fairbank Center Critical Issues Confronting China Series \nAngela Huyue Zhang\nAssociate Professor of Law and Director\, Philip K.H. Wong Centre for Chinese Law\, University of Hong Kong\nProfessor of Law\, University of Southern California (in fall 2024) \nChina’s economy is at a crossroads\, facing its most significant challenges in recent memory. Amidst this economic turmoil\, a fierce debate has emerged among experts: Is the current economic downturn a result of ingrained structural issues\, recent policy shifts\, or escalating geopolitical tensions? \nIn this talk\, Professor Angela Zhang will offer a fresh perspective\, steering the conversation towards the impact of law on the Chinese economy. Drawing insights from her latest book\, “High Wire: How China Regulates Big Tech and Governs Its Economy\,” Professor Zhang will introduce the “Dynamic Pyramid Model” to demystify China’s regulatory governance. Through this lens\, she will explain the consistent regulatory pattern in some of the biggest policy challenges China has faced in recent years\, including tech regulation\, the covid-19 pandemic control\, the energy crisis in 2021\, the ongoing property crack down and China’s demographic crisis. This discussion aims to shed light on the political logic underpinning China’s regulatory policies\, while also identifying potential pathways toward economic revival. \nAngela Zhang is an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Hong Kong and Director of the Philip K. H. Wong Center for Chinese Law. Widely recognized as a leading authority on China’s tech regulation\, Angela has written extensively on this topic. She is the author of “Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism: How the Rise of China Challenges Global Regulation” (Oxford\, 2021)\, which was named one of the Best Political Economy Books of 2021 by ProMarket. Angela’s second book\, “High Wire: How China Regulates Big Tech and Governs Its Economy\,” was released by Oxford University Press in March 2024. In fall 2024\, Angela will join the University of Southern California as a Professor of Law.

SUMMARY:HILJ-YJIL-Oxford Symposium: China and the International Legal Order
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Symposium \nHILJ-YJIL-Oxford \nOctober 15\, 2020  \nAs deglobalization deepens in centers of capitalism in the North and the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates tensions between the U.S. and China\, China continues to promote its version of economic globalization\, particularly through emergent markets in much of the South. Chinese globalization consists of trade and global value chains\, investment and development finance\, and hard and soft infrastructure—including digital infrastructures—promoted by Chinese and multilateral development banks\, SOEs and privately-owned companies\, and internationalizing professional services like law firms. China is providing much-needed capital\, health aid\, and expertise to many regions of the world. At the same time\, scholars suggest that “state capital\,” which differs from private capital\, catalyzes this form of globalization\, meaning that outbound capital flows are aligned with the interests of the party-state. Along these lines\, China is increasing active not only in existing multilateral legal organizations and financial institutions\, such as the WTO\, WHO\, UN\, ISO\, but is also establishing its own parallel platforms including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization\, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank\, eWTP\, World Internet Conference\, and the Belt and Road Initiative. Chinese development banks have\, in recent years\, provided more overseas lending than the World Bank and the IMF combined. China’s technology companies are the largest in the world and providing e-commerce and telecommunications facilities\, including 5G\, through the “Digital Silk Road.” These developments have significant consequences for global health governance\, supply chains\, labor and environmental rights\, privacy\, security\, and freedom of speech. State response to the coronavirus pandemic has done little to create consensus around these issues and the interstate system appears to be shifting around two emergent spheres of influence—that of China and the U.S. It is at this current turning point that we convene this symposium to examine how a globalizing China is shaping or otherwise influencing the international legal order\, one that has been allegedly designed by and for private capital from the global North\, and conversely\, how existing international legal institutions\, Western states\, and “Belt and Road” partner states are responding to an ascendant China. \nThis symposium\, a unique collaboration between ​Harvard International Law Journal​\, Yale Journal of International Law\,​ and the “China\, Law and Development” project and the Commercial Law Centre\, both at the University of Oxford\, features scholars from not only the U.S. and China but also Hong Kong\, Singapore\, the U.K.\, and Brazil. The symposium highlights the scholarship of not just established scholars\, but also junior scholars\, and law students\, as well\, including one panel devoted to law students. The symposium is aimed at opening up intellectual exchange about China’s relationship to the changing international legal order\, including\, centrally\, the U.S.-China relationship\, and also additional states that have strong economic\, legal\, and security ties with China. \n5:00 PM – 5:30 PM\nOpening Remarks\nMatthew S.
