Wilson China Fellowship Conference 2023 [[link removed]]
Monday, May 22 // 9:00 am–4:15 pm (ET)
US-China competition increasingly dominates the foreign policy conversation. Tensions in the Taiwan Strait, decoupling in strategic technological sectors, and a growing struggle for influence in regions across the world signal a 21st century that will be defined in large part by US-China competition. Yet, as President Joseph Biden has said, “We seek competition with China, not conflict.” Both countries depend upon the other economically despite concerns about dependence, and neither can address climate change alone. How can the United States compete with China while cooperating on issues of mutual interest? What role will emerging technologies and a rising Global South play in US-China relations? Is this a “cold war” or something else entirely?
The Wilson China Fellowship [[link removed]] supports a rising generation of American scholars dedicated to exploring every facet of US-China relations and the rise of China. Join us as our 2022-23 Wilson China Fellows present their projects [[link removed]] and discuss key policy issues with program alumni and other esteemed experts for our third annual Wilson China Fellowship Conference.

The Other Great Game: The Opening of Korea and the Birth of Modern East Asia [[link removed]]Monday, May 22 // 4–5:30 pm (ET)
Like the Great Game struggles between Russia and Britain over India that existed for most of the 19th century, the “other” Great Game in East Asia over control of the Korean peninsula also gave rise to lasting rivalry and bloodshed among the regional powers at the turn of the twentieth century. Using her latest book, The Other Great Game: The Opening of Korea and the Birth of Modern East Asia (The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2023) , Sheila Miyoshi Jager will illuminate some key aspects of this struggle to show how these earlier conflicts and rivalries set the course for the future of East Asia and the larger global order.

The Inner-Workings of the Mexican Supreme Court: Opening the Black Box [[link removed]]Tuesday, May 23 // 11:00 am–12:30 pm (ET)
The inner workings of the Mexican Supreme Court, some of which may prove to be highly consequential in pending cases, are largely unknown to much of the Mexican public, let alone to analysts and observers abroad. To open the black box and discuss the nuts and bolts of the Court’s mechanisms and peculiarities, including the role of the Chief Justice, the supermajority requirement for certain decisions, and the assignment of cases to justices, the Mexico Institute, Mexico Evalúa, and the Arizona State University School of Law’s Center for Constitutional Design, have assembled an expert panel.
