SUMMARY:Law and Political Economy in China: The Role of Law in Corporate Governance and Market Growth
DESCRIPTION:East Asian Legal Studies Book Launch & Panel Discussion \nAuthor: \n\nTamar Groswald Ozery\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Asian Studies\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem\n\nPanelists: \n\nWilliam P. Alford (moderator)\, Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of Law\, Director of East Asian Legal Studies\, Chair of the Harvard Law School Project on Disability\, Harvard Law School\nRui Guo\, Visiting Scholar\, East Asian Legal Studies\, Harvard Law School\nNicholas C. Howson\, Pao Li Tsiang Professor of Law\, University of Michigan Law School\nMariana Pargendler\, Professor\, Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) Law School; Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School (effective July 2024)\nMeg Rithmire\, F. Warren MacFarlan Associate Professor\, Business\, Government\, and International Economy Unit\, Harvard Business School\n\nIn her new book\, Law and Political Economy in China: The Role of Law in Corporate Governance and Market Growth (Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\, Tamar Groswald Ozery takes a law & political economy approach to deconstruct the role of law in China’s market development since 1978. \nPlease join us for a book launch event featuring a panel of international corporate governance and China law experts. Professor Groswald Ozery\, Professor Rithmire\, and Dr. Guo will join Professor Alford in person. Professor Howson and Professor Pargendler will participate via Zoom. \nDiscussion will mainly focus on the role of formal law in governing markets during the “Legalized Politicization Era” (2010–present)\, the present era of market development in China. Covered extensively in the book\, the present era reveals a shift in China’s political–economic equilibrium. The authorities over governing markets are being reconfigured to handle the consequences of prior era state capitalism. Such reconfiguration of market governance is achieved through the mobilization of legal institutions in two main directions: intensifying the presence of the regulatory state in the market and shifting substantial market governance powers directly to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). \nBoxed lunch will be provided. \nLearn about the book on the Cambridge University Press website (public site).\nAccess the complete e-book on Cambridge Core through the Harvard Library (Harvard login required). \nAuthor Profile:\nTamar Groswald Ozery is an Assistant Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Israel.
