Donations
[Autumn 2002] We
want to extend our gratefulness to the following former members for their
gracious and generous donations to support ChinaRains activities:
SUN MingChun, HE Xin, SU Yang
The donations will be used in website registration,
regular meetings and social events expenditures, and possibly souvenirs
for guest speakers.
Publications
[Winter 2003] new
HE Xin's article "Legal Control on Rural-Urban Migrants in Beijing: Administrative
Regulation, Intra-govermental Competition and Campaign" Stanford Journal
of International Law. An earlier version of the article was presented
at Chinarains (11/02/2001: "Legal Evasion as a Means of Development: a
Case Study of Migrant Garment Business in Beijing"). HE Xin, now lecturer
of Law at the City University of Hong Kong, is enjoying his new career
very much, and plans to come back to Stanford soon to defend his dissertation.
[Autumn 2002] A study
on social protest co-authored
SU Yang (with Doug McAdam) is recently
accepted for publication in American Sociological Review. The paper,
titled "Antiwar Protest and Congressional Voting, 1965-1973", will appear
in the journal's October issue this year. Part of the study has been presented
at ChinaRains (4/20/2001:"Domestic Reaction to US Aggression War: The Case
of Vietnam"). SU Yang, now assistant professor at UC Irvine, is former
member (1996-2002) and coordinator (1997-98) of ChinaRains.
[Autumn 2002] A study
on the Chinese Cultural Revolution co-authored by SU Yang (with
Andrew Walder) is recently accepted for publication in China Quarterly
in its March 2003 issue. Based on more than 1550 volumes of county annals
(xianzhi), the study is the most systematic account to date about the mass
movement in the countryside. The paper is primarily crafted and written
by Andrew Walder, but reflects the instrumental role by SU Yang in the
research design and data collection. SU Yang, now assistant professor at
UC Irvine, is former member (1996-2002) and coordinator (1997-1998) of
ChinaRains. Three current ChinaRains members (ZHAO Litao, ZHENG Lu and
HU Songhua) will be acknowledged in the publication for their contribution
to the project.
