Thesis title: China & Soft Power
Academic Supervisors: Professor Hugo Dobson

My educational background and research interests focus on East Asia and particularly China’s changing role in the world, and encompass politics, international relations, international development, culture.

My PhD research aims to explore how an authoritarian state such as China is able to wield soft power by drawing upon its history and culture, and how China is adapting an American public diplomacy concept in its foreign policy to alter its image, expand its cultural and diplomatic influence, and enhance international cooperation.
