Unsustainable Prosperity: China, Globalization and the New Political Economy of Development

Congratulations to CAPI’s China Chair, Dr. Guoguang Wu, (Departments of Political Science and History and CAPI) on being awarded an SSHRC Insight grant for his new project on China’s participation in the global economy.

This new grant, which totals $153,672 over four years, will fund research that investigates the political economic institutions that have supported China's economic success in globalization, and, based on a comparative examination of social injustice, ecological cost & political repression entailed by the institutions, argues that these very institutions are not capable of sustaining China's further development.
