DESCRIPTION:A guest lecture by Professor Kristin Looney of Georgetown Unive
 rsity.\n\nAbstract:  Mobilizing for Development\, by Kristen Looney\, addr
 esses the question of how countries achieve rural development. By comparin
 g Taiwan\, South Korea\, and China\, Looney shows that different types of 
 development outcomes were realized to different degrees\, at different tim
 es\, and in different ways. She argues that rural modernization campaigns\
 , defined as policies demanding high levels of mobilization to effect dram
 atic change\, played a central role in the region and that divergent devel
 opment outcomes stem from the interplay between campaigns and institutions
 . The analysis departs from the developmental state literature and demonst
 rates that rural development was not just a byproduct of industrialization
 .\n\nSpeaker bio: Kristen Looney is an assistant professor of Asian Studie
 s and Government at Georgetown University\, where she teaches courses on C
 hinese and Comparative Politics. Her research is on East Asian development
  and governance. She holds a B.A. in Chinese Studies from Wellesley Colleg
 e and a Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University.\n
