While PRC history was initially synonymous with the history of the Mao Era, recently historians have paid increased attention to the post-Mao period, often labelled the Reform Era. Major changes in economic policy initiated by Deng Xiaoping in December 1978 marked its beginning; some scholars have argued that it ended with the term of the last leader chosen by Deng, Hu Jintao, in 2012. Xi Jinping has officially stated that the Mao Era and the Reform Era each lasted around 30 years (and should not be seen as contradictory).
While the Reform Era has already been extensively studied by social scientists, how can historical periodization further shed light on its internal dynamics? How did the meaning of “reform” change over the period, and how did political, economic, social and intellectual dimensions of reforms relate to each other? What are the respective contributions of bottom-up social change and top-down policy design? Did the repression of the 1989 democracy represent a decisive turning point toward faster economic liberalization? This seminar proposes to examine the incipient history of the Reform Era, its sources and methods, as well as its contribution to the understanding of present-day China.
This research seminar will be held in English. It is designed mainly for graduate students with prior knowledge of Chinese history and politics.
