Consulting Services
I consult with a range of government agencies, businesses, and NGOS about East Asian affairs, focusing on geopolitical and geoeconomic risk analysis. This work includes policy studies on subjects such as fiscal crises and supply chain security in China as well as sectoral analysis centered on topis such as the biotech and renewal energy industries. I also offer corporate education services related to business practices in East Asia.

Publications
China’s history in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has often been framed as a long coda of imperial decline, played out during its last dynasty, the Qing. Quest for Power presents a sweeping reappraisal of this narrative. This book traces the origins of China’s great-power status in the latter half of the twentieth century to this era of supposed decadence and decay.
Teaching
I offer a range of courses to undergraduates, PhD students, business professionals, policy-makers, and adult learners in English, Chinese, and German. These classes examine the histories of China, East Asia, Central Asia, the environment, comparative colonialism, and business, development, and political economy in a global context. I also introduce young scholars to the discipline through courses in Historiography and field preparation in comparative imperialism and modern China.
