Xi Jinping has created a new model of Chinese politics. He has taken unprecedented steps to consolidate his authority, has overseen the expansion of Communist Party’s role in Chinese political, social, and economic life, and has constructed a virtual wall of regulations to control more closely the exchange of ideas and capital between China and the outside world. Beyond its borders, Beijing has recast itself as a great power, seeking to reclaim its past glory and to create a system of international norms that better serves its more ambitious geostrategic objectives. Dr. Elizabeth C. Economy, C.V. Starr senior fellow and director for Asia studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, will join us to discuss Xi’s transformative reign, and how the United States and others should respond in order to protect and advance their own interests. Dr. Economy is a renowned scholar of Chinese domestic and foreign policy. She has published articles in foreign policy and scholarly journals including Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review, and Foreign Policy, and op-eds in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal, among others.
Dr. Economy is a frequent guest on nationally broadcast television and radio programs, has testified before Congress on numerous occasions, and regularly consults for U.S. government agencies and companies. She writes about topics involving China on CFR’s Asia program blog, Asia Unbound, which is syndicated by Forbes.com. In her most recent work, The Third Revolution: Xi Jinping and the New Chinese State, she analyzes President Xi’s dual-reform trajectories?a more authoritarian and controlling system at home and a more ambitious and activist foreign policy abroad?and its global implications.
Dr. Economy is also the award-winning author of The River Runs Black: The Environmental Challenge to China’s Future, and author of By All Means Necessary: How China’s Resource Quest is Changing the World with Michael Levi.
