SUMMARY:Rethinking the Chinese People’s Liberation Army: Military Reform
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture: \nRethinking the Chinese People’s Liberation Army: Military Reform under Xi Jinping \nDavid Finkelstein\, Vice-President and Director of the China and Indo-Pacific Studies Division\, CNA \nModerated by: Elizabeth Wishnick\, Professor\, Political Science and Law\, Montclair State University \nIn 2015\, the Chinese armed forces—the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)—launched a set of organizational changes and institutional reforms unprecedented in its history. Bold in its conception and sweeping its coverage\, this endeavor is aimed at positioning the PLA to prosecute 21st century warfare. This briefing will explain what changes are taking place\, the drivers behind this effort\, and their implications. Spoiler alert: This discussion is not about weapons\, platforms\, or technologies. It is about organizational change\, institutional culture\, and bureaucratic politics. \nSponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.  \nOnline via Zoom. Please register here.  \n
