NYU Center on U.S.-China Relations

The NYU Center on U.S.-China Relations was launched to provide a venue for exploring the increasingly complex interaction between China and the United States. It is the view of the founders and the Advisory Committee that this relationship has already become one of the most critical bilateral ties that the two countries face. Hence, it is essential that specialists and the general public in both the U.S. and China have available to them objective research that they can use for shaping future directions in policy. The Center will focus predominantly on economic and foreign policy questions. The expectation is that most of the research will be conducted through commissioned papers which will appear in either journals or edited volumes. In addition, the Center will also support: (1) scholarships for field research; (2) sponsoring of events where presentations will focus on timely issues being debated by policy-makers in both countries; and (3) scholarly exchanges.
