Robert Ross spoke at the Mershon Center on October 17. |
Did you miss any of this semester's events that you wanted to see at the Mershon Center? You may be in luck. When possible, and when we have permission of the speaker, we videotape events for people to view later.
So far this semester we have four event recordings available:
- Robert Ross, Boston College, "The East Asian Power Transition: Prospects for Peace"
- Jonathan Pollack, Brookings Institution, "Chinese Peripheral Diplomacy in East Asia: Can Beijing Learn from Its Unforced Errors?"
- David Kang, University of Southern China, "The U.S. Pivot and Regional Security in Northeast Asia"
- Stephanie Rickard, London School of Economics, "Ruling the Market: Economic Geography, Electoral Institutions, and Redistribution"
When an event is recorded, it can take two to three weeks for the recording to be edited in house, then sent to Media Services to be processed into a streaming video. Once that is done, we post a link on the event web page.
If you have questions about event recordings, please contact event coordinator
Steven Blalock or public relations coordinator
Cathy Becker.

'Origins' examines U.S.-China monetary policy
Many Americans, apparently, are really angry at China right now. They believe that China is taking advantage of the United States with unfair trade practices and by manipulating its currency. In fact, American politicians and bankers have been concerned with China's currency for a very long time.
This month historian Austin Dean traces this long history of American involvement in China's monetary policies and shows that Americans have been more the manipulator than manipulated. Read the entire article at
