  Current Projects (当前的研究项目)

  • Mandarins Playing Capitalist Games: How China is Reshaping Global Governance. An analysis of how effectively the Chinese

     government and industry participate in global regimes. Whereas most observers focus on China's compliance with its international

     commitments, this study examines how Chinese learn, utilize and shape the rules of the international system, not to be good citizens

     but to further their interests. A comparison of behavior in regimes related to trade remedies, technical standards, commodities

     markets, credit ratings, and competition policy explores why Chinese have become more effective in some parts of global

     governance than in others. Comparison with other countries helps illuminate how China's political system and the timing of its

     expanded engagement with the international system affects its behavior.

  •  The Politics of Lobbying: Corporate Political Activity in China. This project employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to

      more fully understand how Chinese and multinational industry attempt to influence public policy in China. Topics under analysis

      include: the relationship between lobbying strategies and policy influence, issue framing, the role of gender in lobbying, the emergence

      of lobbying firms, regional rep offices (駐京办) in the capital, and lobbying in China by multinationals.
