I am a DPhil student in International Relations at Brasenose College, University of Oxford. My research interests centre around China’s environmental foreign policy. My combined DPhil–MPhil project examines how China manages a “green” image in international environmental regimes and when investing in the Global South, with a regional focus on South America. My research is funded by the ESRC Grand Union DTP.
Panel Discussion on Economic Diplomacy in a Multipolar World (Online)
Join us and our distinguished speakers for a panel discussion on how economic diplomacy is conducted in the 21st century! We will cover how and why China expanded its economic influence to rival US-led institutions; how partner countries on the African continent assess their economic cooperation with either superpower to date; and how the shifting geopolitical landscape redistributes bargaining power and impacts countries’ aims vis-à-vis economic diplomacy, including on the question of political values.
