Global China Initiative to Expands its Scope, Thanks to Carnegie Grant

The GDP Center is grateful to announce that its’ Global China Initiative has received a new grant Carnegie Corporation of New York. This generous grant will allow GCI to expand its research,  policy dialogues, and fellowship program on China and international economic institutions.

Kevin Gallagher, Director of the GDP Center and Principal Investigator on the grant, notes that “while there are a growing number of differences between China and the United States, one area where the two largest economies in the world have a very strong common interest is in a stable and well-functioning world economy.  The GDP Center’s new grant will allow the GDP Center to work with present and future China scholars, policy-makers, and beyond to forge mutually beneficial solutions to global economic governance.”

The Global China Initiative (GCI) examines the extent to which Chinese overseas economic activity and engagement with international institutions foster a more stable, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable world economy.

Support from the Carnegie Corporation will go toward GCI’s collaborative research programs with Chinese institutes and collaborators in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.  The majority of the support will go toward identifying a new generation of China scholars in the US who focus on the economic aspects of the US-China relationship.
