The Future of US-China Economic and Political Relations
In this round table, economists and political scientists take stock of the US-China relationship in light of a devastating health crisis and more than two years of intermittent trade war. Panelists will address the economic shock of Covid-19 in both countries and unpack what appear to be starkly different stimulus strategies. Looking forward, panelists will discuss key junctures in the bilateral relationship, including the ongoing trade war, an upcoming presidential election, as well as tensions over multilateral commitments and competition.This event was organized by Devashish Mitra and Dimitar Gueorguiev for the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs’ Series on Trade, Development and Political Economy and the East Asia Program. This event is also sponsored by the Maxwell School’s Executive Education Programs, Department of Public Administration and International Affairs, International Relations Program, the Department of Political Science, the Department of Economics and the Asian/Asian-American Studies Program.
