Desde o referendo sobre o Brexit e a eleição de Trump, o mundo tem assistido à rápida dissolução da ordem global edificada após a Segunda Guerra Mundial e fortalecida depois do colapso da União Soviética. A expressão máxima dos "novos tempos" é a confrontação crescente entre Estados Unidos e China. A crise da democracia, o nacionalismo xenófobo, o protecionismo são parte desse processo. Neste debate, Tanja A. Börzel (cientista política e professora do Otto-Suhr-Institut da Freie Universität Berlin) e Thomas Risse (professor, pesquisador e diretor do Center for Transnational Relations, Foreign and Security Policy da Freie Universität Berlin) discutiram qual o papel das alianças e acordos regionais e, em particular, da União Europeia e do Mercosul em meio à disrupção da ordem liberal no mundo. Serão capazes de mitigar os piores efeitos desse processo? Data: 20 de setembro de 2019

According to the most recent Open Doors Report, published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in late 2017, China remains the number one sending country of international students to the United States. Approximately 350,000 Chinese currently attend American colleges and universities at the undergraduate and graduate levels. There are also growing numbers of Chinese students at American high schools. On June 4 the National Committee hosted a program to discuss the impact of Chinese students on American academic institutions (in February 2018 FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats suggested that Chinese students and scholars conduct espionage on American campuses), and what happens when (if?) the students return to China. The first topic was addressed by Ms. Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of IIE; while Dr. David Zweig, professor of political science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, shared his research findings on returnees.

In 2014, Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement grabbed international headlines, shut down the city’s largest commercial districts, and generated concern about Hong Kong’s political future. Images of city streets awash in yellow, and protesters clashing with police quickly spread around the world, and many observers believed the movement heralded significant changes to Hong Kong’s political structure. Three years after calm was restored, questions remain: what is the political mood on Hong Kong campuses? Are freedoms being gradually eroded? What is the future of One Country-Two Systems under the newly elected Chief Executive Carrie Lam?  David Zweig, a long time Hong Kong resident, and a professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, has been watching the situation closely, and on May 15, 2017 he shared his insights with the National Committee in a conversation moderated by NCUSCR President Stephen Orlins. Dr. Zweig addressed a variety of issues including political resistance, academic freedom, reverse brain drain, and the current contradictions between the former British colony and Beijing.   David Zweig is chair professor for the Division of Social Science and director at the Center on China’s Transnational Relations at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
