Having surged to the center of the world\u2019s political and economic stage, China<\/span><\/a><\/strong> is plagued by contradictions. On the one hand, Maoism is enjoying a comeback: the CCP ax-sickle flag is flying everywhere, \u201cred songs\u201d are back in fashion, loud calls for another \u201cCultural Revolution\u201d <\/span><\/a><\/strong>are heard, and jobs in the government and at the state enterprises are once again favored by the young generation.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, however, the movement to defend people\u2019s legal rights and interests is stronger than ever, calls for political reform proliferate, and many foreign enterprises are still eager to invest in China<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. The challenge is to penetrate this confusion and try to divine where China will go in the future. Through an in-depth analysis of China\u2019s actual conditions\u2013the \u201ccrossroads\u201d it faces\u2013this presentation will seek to suggest ways to make sense of China\u2019s uncertain future.<\/p>\n

Current Issue: Summer 2011 A Changing Middle East<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Since this spring\u2019s eruption of demands for change in the Arab world, uncertainty reigns everywhere. In some countries, long-ruling autocrats still fight viciously for power, while in others, leaders scramble to reach a new accommodation with their suddenly rebellious people. Egyptians and Tunisians, meanwhile, struggle to make good on the promise of democracy. Where did this wave of change come from? And where is it going?<\/p>\n

1 August 2011. Comparing India to The World Will India Get Too Big To Be Rich?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

One out of 6 people in the world live in India. But just how big is India? And how can we think about the country and its economy when it’s population and GDP varies so vastly from state to state? One way would be to look at the size of each state, in relation to its GDP and population. But what would the numbers really mean? Another way would be to compare each state to a country, revealing India’s fundamental problems.<\/p>\n
