工作坊介绍

复旦大学中华文明国际研究中心（ICSCC）与维也纳大学转型史研究中心（RECET）、华东师范大学社会主义历史与文献研究院拟联合开展国际产业改革史的研究课题。课题特别关注国际范围内大小型公司及其劳工状况的转型。本研究是一项跨学科、多国参与的长期项目的一部分，旨在比较原计划经济中的各种国有产业及其在市场化过程中的转型。课题关注的兴趣点主要在考察中国工业和企业（包括国有企业和私营企业）在中国的开放和改革中所扮演的角色。

课题主要感兴趣的行业和企业包括但不限于：钢铁行业、民用造船业，以及其他通过市场化改革或私有化实现转型的大型国有企业。本项目将在以下背景下研究这些行业和企业的转型：A：中国的市场化改革，由改革开放以来支持市场化的经济学家推动；B：支持或者抵制市场的社会、文化和政治制度。

基于本课题对社会、经济和文化方面的关注，本次工作坊诚挚欢迎来自人文社会科学各学科的学者贡献自己的独特见解，包括但不限于：历史学、经济学、管理学、文化研究和社会学。本次工作坊预计将于4月中下旬在线上举行，具体细节待定。我们欢迎来自三家合作机构以及上海地区其他大学的学者，作为演讲者、或作为讨论组的一员参加此次工作坊。

工作坊主要研究领域包括：

1、不同经济学学派和改革观点的辩论，包括中国经济学家和改革者如何从西方和前社会主义国家汲取经验教训。

2、自下而上转型的劳资关系，特别是本土创新和日常生活转型如何激发更大的市场转型。

3、移民与跨国主义现象，人员、技术和思想的内部和全球流动如何塑造现代中国工业。

4、文化转型，尤其是中国商业和工业的实践如何受到传统和后来输入的西方商业文化的影响。

本次工作坊的工作语言为英语。参与工作坊不要求提交研究论文全文。如果您有兴趣发表演讲，请将您的姓名、所属学术机构、职务或学位以及 300 字左右的英文摘要发送给我们。如果您有兴趣，但还没有具体的研究计划，希望作为讨论组的一员参加，请务必将您的姓名和所属学术机构信息发给我们，以进行注册。报名截止日期为 2022 年 3 月 31 日。

“Industry Reform During Market Transition: Lessons from China” Fudan University-Vienna University Joint Business and Labour History Workshop

Call for Applications

Time: Mid-Late April 2022

Workshop Introduction

The International Center for Studies of Chinese Civilization (ICSCC) at Fudan University is now launching a new joint research program with the Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET) at Vienna University and the Academy of Socialist History and Documentation at East China Normal University, on the international history of industry reforms. Specifically, on the Transformation of companies and their workforce. This study is a part of a multi-disciplinary, multi-national, and long-term project to compare a variety of state-owned industries in former planned economies and their transformation during marketization. In this joint project, we are specifically interested in understanding the roles of Chinese industry and businesses – both state-owned and private – in China’s opening and reform.

The industries and businesses this project is interested in include, but are not limited to: steel industry, civilian shipbuilding, as well as other large state-owned enterprises that have transformed themselves either through marketization reforms or privatization. This project is interested in studying those industries’ and businesses’ transformation within the context of A: China’s marketization reform, as promoted by pro-market economists since the opening and reform period and B: The Social, Cultural, and Political Institutions that either sustained or resisted the development of this market.

Due to the social, economic, and cultural focus of this project, the workshop welcomes scholars from all academic disciplines to contribute their unique insights, including but not limited to: history, economics, business, cultural studies, and sociology. This workshop will be held online in mid-to-late April pending the decision from the organizers. We sincerely welcome scholars from both partner universities, as well as from other sister universities in the larger Shanghai metropolitan region to participate, either as presenters or as a part of the discussion group.

The key research areas include:

-  The debate of different Economic schools of thought and Reform Politics, including how Chinese economists and political reformers draw lessons from the west and former socialist countries.

-  Labour Relations and Transformation from below, especially how local innovations and everyday-life transformations have inspired larger market transformation

-   Migration and Transnationalism: how internal and global movement of people, technology, and ideas have shaped modern Chinese industry

-   Cultural Transformations and especially how Chinese business and industry practices are influenced by traditional and imported western business culture

Submitting a research paper is not a requirement for participation. If you are interested in presenting at the workshop, please send us your name, academic degree, current academic affiliation, and a short 300-word abstract. If you do not have a concrete project yet and wish to participate as a part of the discussion group, please do send us your name and affiliation to register. The deadline to register is March 31, 2022.

Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET)  at Vienna University is an institute for advanced research that takes the end of the Cold War as a starting point to think and compare a variety of social, economic, and cultural transformations in Europe and the rest of the world. Our concept of transformation is inspired by Karl Polanyi and looks at a broader perspective of transformation with emphasis on the interdisciplinary connections to sociology, economics, and cultural, and social anthropology. RECET has a strong focus on Comparative area studies. especially comparative business and labour history and is expanding our research interests in East Asia and this region’s co-transformation with Western countries.
