— FEATURED WORK
Journal Article
“Power, shared ideas and order transition”
How did China work with the US to shape the post-WWII economic order? In my new paper in the European Journal of International Relations, I focus on how weak and powerful states work together to shape an order’s shared ideas.
Journal Article
“Japan Still Has Cadres Remaining”
Hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians, soldiers, and prisoners of war were detained or living in the Soviet Union and Communist-controlled parts of China in the turbulent decade from the end of WWII to the early years of the Cold War.
Journal Article
“Assessing the Deterioration in US-China relations”
Rosemary Foot and I trace the emergence and solidification of the economic-security nexus in U.S. policy towards China, before comparing the Obama and Trump administrations’ responses to the technological challenge posed by China.
