Research Group: E-Commerce and Mobile Technology
While the trade conflict between the United States and China foregrounds tariffs and trade balances, deeper technological and regulatory forces are also shaping the bilateral relationship and the future of the global economy.
In spring 2018, Abraham Newman of Georgetown University, Henry Farrell of George Washington University, and Xue Lan of Tsinghua University convened a research group in Washington, DC, to address the politics of innovation in an interdependent world. At their fall 2018 workshop in Beijing the group centered its shared research on the future politics and regulation of e-commerce and mobile technology. Their third meeting took place in Washington, DC, in October 2019.
