UCA TALKS | Overreach-How China Derailed its Peaceful Rise

A Talk by Susan Shirk on Her New Book “How China Derailed its Peaceful Rise”

 

At a time of great and worsening confrontation between US and China, a time of grave concern for its future by the Chinese American community, UCA is honored to invite Prof. Susan Shirk, one of the most influential China scholars in America and a highly respected former diplomat, as the guest speaker for our next #UCATalks webinar series.

 

Susan Shirk is chair of the 21st Century China Center and a research professor at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. Shirk’s 2008 book, “China: Fragile Superpower,” helped frame the policy debate on China in the U.S. and other countries. Her other books include: “The Political Logic of Economic Reform in China,” “Competitive Comrades” and “Changing Media, Changing China.” She previously served as deputy assistant secretary of state (1997-2000), responsible for U.S. policy toward China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mongolia. She is director emeritus of the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation and founded the Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue, an unofficial forum for discussion of security issues.

 

During the webinar, Prof. Shirk will discuss her newly released, highly expected book “Overreach: How China Derailed its Peaceful Rise”, followed by a conversation with the audience.

 

This talk will be moderated by Haipei Shue, president of UCA.
