ESMT Open Lecture with Ines Eben von Racknitz | ESMT Berlin

Recording from the ESMT Open Lecture with Ines Eben von Racknitz on "Why history matters: the historical framework of China’s global ascent", which took place at ESMT Berlin on June 12, 2019.

China has become one of the major economic and political players of the 21st century. For some decades now, business and political leaders in the European Union and the US have been struggling to understand their Chinese counterparts and the new landscape. Key to understanding China’s future is its rich cultural past – one of Confucius, calligraphy, and emperors as well as years under Mao Zedong. Within China itself, the nation’s current global ascent is seen and explained within a framework of historical and cultural circumstances and within its multifaceted relationships with the world and an “imperialistic” West. In this talk, Ines Eben von Racknitz revisits and explains the most prominent “landmarks” of this history.
