SUMMARY:Protest Policing and Workers' Strikes in China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Chih-Jou Jay Chen (Associate Professor\, Institute of Socio
 logy\, Academia Sinica\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/discussant: Martin 
 Whyte (John Zwaanstra Professor of International Studies and Sociology\, H
 arvard University)\n\n\n	Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese S
 tudies\n\n	This talk identifies salient emerging trends of growing popular
  protests in China using an author-constructed database of 5\,000 news eve
 nts on mass protests from 2000 to 2013\, and an in-depth field report of a
  massive strike which occurred in April 2014. The speaker will first highl
 ight key features of popular protests in China\, including the initial gro
 ups\, claims\, targets\, scales\, forms\, locations\, and protest policing
 . Then he will examine the dynamic relationship between protest and repres
 sion\, and show that severe repression\, such as police arrests of protest
 ers\, has been selective\, depending on a protest's form\, size\, target\
 , and group background. China’s deep-rooted urban-rural disparity also l
 eads to noteworthy differences of policing styles between cities and villa
 ges. A case study on a massive strike in a footwear factory shows how coll
 ective action was triggered\, mobilized and ended. Finally\, the speaker w
 ill discuss the implications of the various upswings in protests on state-
 society relations and regime transformation in China.
