Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues

Georgetown University’s Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues addresses business and trade-related issues and opportunities for cooperation through research, publications, public events, and dialogues that engage faculty, students, and leading stakeholders in both countries.

Since 2021, the initiative has sponsored the Chinese Politics and Economy Research Seminar (CPERS) series in partnership with the Department of Government to bring scholars to Georgetown and discuss their research on Chinese politics and political economy. This seminar is academic in nature and jointly organized by professors Ning Leng and Lizhi Liu.

From 2018 to 2019, the U.S.-China Research Group on E-Commerce and Mobile Technology, convened by Abraham Newman of Georgetown University and Henry Farrell of George Washington University in collaboration with Xue Lan of Tsinghua University, brought together innovation and globalization experts from the United States and China for a structured dialogue around key academic and policy issues of interest to both countries and the world. The group met three times in Washington, DC, and Beijing to address the politics of innovation in an interdependent world.
