US-China Seminars
In October 2021, the Phelan United States Centre launched a new multi-year seminar series on US-China relations to explore the current state and future of relations between China and the US in the 21st century. Seminars focus on three broad themes: ‘geopolitics and strategic competition,’ ‘global supply chains, MNE’s, and trade politics,’ and ‘technological innovation and domestic institutions.’
Series co-chairs: David Soskice (LSE Department of Government) and Peter Trubowitz
These seminars are invitation only and discussion is conducted under the Chatham House Rule.
