UWISC Talk: Just Do it: Explaining the Characteristics and Rationale of Chinese Economic Sanctions

Discussant: Jihyeon Bae, PhD Student, Political Science

Dr. Ketian Zhang is an Assistant Professor of International Security in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. Her research agenda emphasizes how globalized production and supply chains affect states' foreign policy and domestic state-society relations, especially regarding coercion and protests. My book project examines when, why, and how China uses coercion when faced with issues of national security, such as territorial disputes in the South and East China Seas, foreign arms sales to Taiwan, and foreign leaders’ reception of the Dalai Lama.
