Sarah Eaton is Professor of Transregional China Studies at Humboldt University Berlin. She is interested in the study of contemporary Chinese politics and political economy from comparative and transregional perspectives. Her current projects examine China’s role in high-tech standardization, the state of play in SOE policy in the Xi Jinping era and a multi-year Deutsche Forschung Gemeinschaft-funded study of changing interjurisdictional relations between local governments in China. Before joining HU Berlin in October 2019, she held professorships at the University of Göttingen, the University of Oxford and the University of Waterloo. She holds a doctorate in political science from the University of Toronto (2011). Her book, Advance of the State in Contemporary China (Cambridge, 2016) analyzed the ideational roots of Chinese state capitalism and the results of her other research have appeared in political science and area studies journals, including New Political Economy, Review of International Political Economy, Environmental Politics, The China Quarterly and the The China Journal.
