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 include a DFG-funded study of interjurisdictional relations between local governments in China, an examination of digital populism in China and a study of the transregional flows of ideas associated with the so-called developmental state. 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 Environmental Politics, Review of International Political Economy, The China Quarterly and the The China Journal.
