BCCN Lecture Series: China in the Global Political Economy



Facing both structural changes in the domestic economy and rising trade and technology conflict with the US, China’s role in the global political economy is transforming at remarkable speed. In these lectures, our speakers will untangle several intersecting dynamics: the global expansion of Chinese state-owned enterprises as investors and operators; the shift in China’s economic policy from “development first” to “security first”; and the shifting geographies of technological alignments in standard-setting as well as value chains. 
 

Join us online for six lectures with leading scholars of China’s international and domestic political economy: Wendy Leutert (Indiana University Bloomington), Imogen T. Liu (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Ling Chen (Johns Hopkins University), Sarah Eaton (Humboldt University Berlin), Nana de Graaff (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), and Stella Hong Zhang (Indiana University Bloomington).

 

The lecture series is hosted by the China Competence Training Center (CCTC) and the Berlin Contemporary China Network (BCCN) and takes place on Wednesday, 4pm-5:30pm.
