Research Interests: Chinese politics and foreign policy, East Asian security, international relations theory, and political psychology
Ronan Tse-min Fu is a Columbia-Harvard China and the World Program Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of International and Public Affairs, with additional postdoctoral affiliation at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University.
Ronan Tse-min Fu’s research interests lie in the intersection of international relations theory and comparative politics, with a specific focus on grand strategy, East Asian security, Chinese politics and foreign policy, and historical roots of contemporary relations in East Asia. Currently, he is working on a book project that examines how East Asian states assess the intentions of, and the threats posed by, a rising China.
Ronan Tse-min Fu’s work has appeared or is forthcoming in International Security, International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Political Geography. His research has been funded by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China, Fulbright Taiwan, China Times Cultural Foundation, and the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange, among others.
