Andrew Nathan lectured on the subject of 'Is It Any of Our Business? Human Rights as an Issue in U.S.-China Relations.' Civil and political rights in China are largely illusory, says Nathan, a professor of political science at Columbia University and an internationally renowned expert in U.S.-China relations. Nathan is the author of numerous books, including 'Negotiating Culture and Human Rights: Beyond Universalism and Relativism.'
Series Description
A cooperative project of the Cooper Foundation and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues began in 1988 as part of a mission to promote better understanding of world events and issues by Nebraskans. The Forum seeks out forceful speakers who are committed to the issues they address, seeking balance over the range of its programs rather than in each presentation. The Forum does not endorse the views of the individual speakers nor limit their freedom to express their points of view.
