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

The Georgetown University Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues addresses issues related to global governance through research, publications, public events, and dialogues that engage faculty, students, and leading stakeholders in both countries.

During the 2023-2024 academic year, the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues launched the China and Global Governance Event Series, convening expert discussions about China’s increasing interest and participation in global governance institutions.

From 2022 to 2023, the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues hosted several student dialogues around the themes of global governance and global development.

From spring 2016 to spring 2018, the U.S.-China Research Group on Global Health and Migration, convened by Jennifer Huang Bouey of Georgetown University in collaboration with Cheng Feng of Tsinghua University, brought together a team of leading U.S. and Chinese scholars for dialogue and research around key academic and policy issues relating to pandemic preparedness, the cross-national movement of peoples, and challenges they pose for national health systems. The group met four times in Washington, DC, Beijing, and Guangzhou to identify issues of common concern and develop a shared research agenda that can inform better policy and advance practical cooperation in bilateral and multilateral contexts.
