DESCRIPTION:"Smog or Heat: The Controversy over China’s Combating Air Pollu
 tion and Its Governance Implications." Guest Speaker:Ya Li\, Visiting Rese
 arch Professor at PARCC.&nbsp\; He is also a Professor at the School of Pu
 blic Administration\, Beihang University\, Beijing\, China and serves as t
 he director of the Laboratory for Deliberative Policy Analysis (LDPA) and 
 the Center for Public Dispute Resolution (CPDR)\, both at the same Univers
 ity.&nbsp\;The northern part of China has suffered severe smog for a long 
 time. It seems that China is winning the war against air pollution at a re
 cord pace. Some actions are extraordinary and controversial. In the past w
 inter\, for example\, several provinces surrounding Beijing launched an ag
 gressive coal elimination campaign. Coal sales were prohibited and coal bo
 ilers for winter heating were forcefully removed\, before gas replacements
  can be available. Many families and even schools suffered a cold winter w
 ithout heat.&nbsp\; The talk will present China’s anti-air-pollution effor
 ts and outline the ambition and options of phasing out coals.&nbsp\; It wi
 ll focus on the disputes arisen from the winter campaign\, the new way of 
 decision-making\, as well as its wider implication – the shift pattern of 
 governance.&nbsp\; Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly education
 al speaker series for students\, faculty\, and the community. The series\,
  sponsored by PARCC\, draws its speakers from Syracuse University faculty\
 , national and international scholars and activists\, and PhD students. Pi
