On February 27, 2023, Boston University’s Office of Research hosted a “Research on Tap” event – “China and the World<\/a>” – which provided a holistic exploration of Chinese globalization<\/a> and the country’s global impact.<\/p>\n Co-sponsored by the Global Development Policy Center<\/a> (GDP Center) and the Center for the Study of Asia<\/a>, this “Research on Tap” convened BU faculty and researchers from across schools and disciplines. Through a series of individual presentations on a wide range of topics, the suite of experts expanded BU\u2019s reservoir of knowledge on China<\/a> and helped inform research and teaching on China at global and local dimensions.<\/p>\n The event featured remarks by three faculty from BU’s Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies: Jorge Heine<\/a>, Research Professor and Interim Director of the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future<\/a>; Mark Storella<\/a>, Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and Director of the African Studies Center<\/a>; and Min Ye<\/a>, Professor of International Relations, who also co-hosted the event.<\/p>\n Ye’s presentation, titled “Variety of State Intervention: Industrial Policies in Electric Vehicles in China, Japan, and India<\/a>,” explored the major shift in electrical vehicle adoption, production, and exportation in China compared to Japan<\/a> and India<\/a> that has taken place over the past decade. Specifically, she discussed the role of both private actors and state intervention in promoting growth in the countries’ EV industries. A recording of Ye’s remarks can be viewed below.<\/p>\n
