SUMMARY:More than Affirmative Action: China’s Preferential Policy in Hist
 orical and Comparative Perspective
DESCRIPTION:\n	Wang Liping (Professor of Political Science in the School of
  Government\, Peking University\; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-Yenching Inst
 itute)\n	Chair/discussant: Lei Ya-Wen (Assistant Professor of Sociology\, 
 Harvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese St
 udies\n\n\n	With the ethical appeal of equality and justice as well as a m
 ore cohesive society\, affirmative action has been in place for many years
  around the world. Such measures\, going by various names depending on the
  context and perceived acceptability\, have attained their goals to varyin
 g degrees in different countries even though the debates around them are n
 ever silenced. In many countries adopting such policies\, the political lo
 gic of preferential policies has long influenced policy construction and a
  dilemma ensues: affirmative policies are enduring or even expanding while
  doubts and questions about such measures are bubbling up. With the rapid 
 increase in diversity in many dimensions\, old and new\, the situation in 
 China is more pressing. The talk will focus on China’s preferential poli
 cies in historical and comparative perspective\, hoping to gain a better u
 nderstanding of such policies and to advance more constructive discussions
  about the affirmative action dilemma in China and beyond.
