GDP Center’s Global China Initiative Receives Carnegie Grant
Boston University’s Global Development Policy (GDP) Center, an affiliated center of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, has been awarded $400,000 in additional grant funding by Carnegie Corporation of New York. This grant will allow GCI to expand its research, policy dialogues, and fellowship program on China and international economic institutions.
The Global China Initiative (GCI) at the GDP Center was established in 2018 by generous funding provided by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. The GCI’s focus is around research and policy partnerships with government and academic think tanks in China, Latin America, South Asia, and Africa that will conduct collaborative research and policy engagement in China and host countries toward these broader goals.
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.” More here.

The GDP Center’s mission is to advance policy-oriented research for financial stability, human well-being, and environmental sustainability.
