The Politics of Hosting Chinese Investment in Europe
Thilo Hanemann speaks on the topic of “Patterns of Chinese FDI in Europe and the US” at the Politics of Hosting Chinese Investment in Europe workshop at Princeton University.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a diverse group of scholars (political scientists and economists, comparativists and international relations scholars, specialists of Europe and of China) to analyze the factors that shape European responses to Chinese direct investment. The goal is to help introduce key questions, new analytic insights, and novel hypotheses on the political economy of FDI in Europe.
This workshop is sponsored by the EU Program at Princeton; the China and the World Program at Princeton University; the Princeton Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance; the Center for the Study of Amsterdam. The workshop was organized by Sophie Meunier (Princeton University), Brian Burgoon (University of Amsterdam) and Wade Jacoby (Brigham Young University).
