The Geopolitics of Law in the People's Republic of China
From Domestic Control to Economic Lawfare in U.S.–China Relations
活动系列: 中国政治与经济研究讲座系列
This talk examines the evolving geopolitical role of economic law in U.S.–China relations. Drawing on her book Law and Political Economy in China (2023) and a recent article, “The Laws of Financial Decoupling: Financial Lawfare in U.S.–China Friction” (2025), Tamar Groswald Ozery will discuss how China’s politicized use of law in domestic market governance has expanded outward into forms of economic lawfare. In parallel, the talk will demonstrate empirically how law has also become a central instrument of American economic statecraft. Groswald Ozery will explain how together these dynamics offer a comparative framework for understanding the geopolitics of law in U.S.–China relations and its growing role in reshaping global economic governance.
This is event is co-sponsored by Georgetown University’s Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues, Center for Asian Law, and McCourt School of Public Policy.
