[VIDEO] Anti-Corruption Movements in India and China

On Thursday, February 27, Dissent and the India-China Institute co-hosted a panel on anti-corruption movements in China and India at the New School in New York. Speaking on the panel were Jiayang Fan (a contributor at the New Yorker), Mehboob Jeelani (a Dissent contributor), Jonathan Shainin (news editor at the New Yorker), and Jeffrey Wasserstrom (a member of Dissent‘s editorial board). The panel was moderated by Mark Frazier, co-academic director at the India-China Institute, and introduced by Dissent‘s Sarah Leonard.

After the four panelists’ initial remarks, academics, journalists, students, and anti-corruption advocates in the audience joined in a lively discussion about the evolution of both Indian and Chinese corruption scandals in the wake of economic liberalization; public and private sector corruption; India’s Aam Admi Party and the entry of anti-corruption activists like Arvind Kejriwal into formal politics; the Chinese government’s efforts to target its opponents through corruption cases; and more.
