Winnie King
British Interuniversity China Centre Research Fellow in Chinese International Political Economy
Profile
Winnie is British Inter-University China Centre (BICC) Research Fellow in Chinese International Political Economy. Prior to joining CEAS, she completed her PhD in Politics at the University of Oxford and MA in Political Science (U. Western Ontario, Canada).
As a political scientist, with a specialisation in political economy, Winnie’s principle area of research is in regional and economic cooperation and development in East Asia and Greater China. Her current research examines processes of political and economic development in Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China. She is currently writing a book on the impact of the non-state actor in the policy-making process in East Asia. Examining the dominant role of civic and economic actors in evolving socio-economic relations and policy across the Taiwan Straits, it utilises case study analysis to highlight the contribution of transnational resources, international norms, and informal institutions in popular mobilisation efforts to press for regulatory liberalisation and policy reform.
Her research interests also include the international relations of Taiwan and the PRC; foreign-domestic policy-making, and state-societal/state-business relations. Currently developing a new project on Sino-European Relations, she is particularly interested in the implications this relationship represents for the international arena, as well as debates of cooperation and regionalism.
