SUMMARY:Law Power: A Conversation with Professor Mark Jia
DESCRIPTION:A lunch talk with Prof. Mark Jia (Georgetown Law) on his latest scholarship on “law power.” \nInternational relations scholars have long debated the military\, economic\, and cultural dimensions of national power.  Yet in new age of great power competition\, we lack a general theory of national legal power comparable to these more familiar forms of national power.  Drawing on legal scholarship across many specific settings\, this talk introduces a general concept of law power—a nation-state’s ability to use law to affect others to get what it wants.  Law power can be soft\, hard\, or sharp\, and can involve local\, foreign\, or international law. In today’s juridified geopolitics\, law power is a leading form of national power.\n\nhttps://law.stanford.edu/event/law-power-a-conversation-with-professor-mark-jia/\n\nThis is a Stanford Law School community event.\n\nRSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScY49uJk9GMNaEHj4XfWVVCEdQywsW4dT6eRYvN6s6soGgmSw/viewform?usp=publish-editor

SUMMARY:A Theory of Legal Knowledge Diffusion: With Evidence from 824\,000 Citations in Top Law Journals in China
DESCRIPTION:Please join Stanford China Law and Policy Association (CLPA) for a lunch talk with Prof. Yun-chien Chang\, the Jack G. Clarke Professor in East Asian Law from Cornell Law School\, on his exciting research on cross-border legal knowledge diffusion. The abstract of the article is as below. \nThis article advances a new theory of legal knowledge diffusion\, positing that legal diffusion and knowledge diffusion are\, respectively\, negatively and positively correlated with generality; because legal knowledge diffusion is shaped by both forces\, the relationship between the level of legal knowledge diffusion and generality takes a U-shaped form. Drawing on a unique dataset of more than 824\,000 citations in nine leading law journals in China from 1990 to 2024\, analyzed through a sentence-embedding algorithm and descriptive statistics\, this article demonstrates that the pattern of citations to American legal scholarship in law journals in China accords with our theoretical prediction. Our theory thus explains why some American scholars who are highly cited in the United States have not gained comparable traction in China. Extensions of the theory consider the flattening of the legal diffusion curve over time\, the downward shift of the legal diffusion curve (due to the waning of foreign influence)\, and the upward shift of the knowledge diffusion curve (driven by the increasing availability of Chinese translations). The latter\, in particular\, explains why certain American scholars with relatively low citation counts in the United States have become highly cited in China.\n\nhttps://law.stanford.edu/event/a-theory-of-legal-knowledge-diffusion-with-evidence-from-824000-citations-in-top-law-journals-in-china/\n\nThis event is open to the Stanford community.\n\nRSVP: https://forms.gle/vyLHCsCTo3H6bk5c6

SUMMARY:The Overlooked Reality of Shareholder Activism in China: Defying Western Expectations
DESCRIPTION:Please join the China Law and Policy Association (CLPA) for a lunch talk with Professor Dan Puchniak\, Yong Pung How Professor of Law from Singapore Management University\, discussing shareholder activism in China. In their newly published work by Harvard Business Law Review\, Prof. Puchniak and his co-authors use unique hand-collected data to reveal that shareholder activism in China is thriving. Their findings challenge some prevailing “Western narratives” on China’s corporate governance\, especially about the influence of the Chinese Communist Party over corporate governance. \n  \n \n\nhttps://law.stanford.edu/event/the-overlooked-reality-of-shareholder-activism-in-china-defying-western-expectations/\n\nThis event is open to the Stanford community.\n\nRSVP: https://forms.gle/3c1dGJgFY7EmMFEMA
