WSI China Program

Eric Hagt, Director

In 2004, WSI successfully launched a new effort dedicated to promoting research and dialogue between China and the United States on a range of traditional and non-traditional security issues that deeply impact this crucial relationship. The China program presently focuses on a number of core projects: China-U.S. Dialogue on Space; China’s Energy Security; New Approaches, Media and Policy: Challenges for China and the United States; and, Europe, China and the United States: A trialogue on comprehensive security. The China program now has a full-time staff member in Beijing along with a number of part time writers and researchers in China and the United States.

WSI China produces China Security, an international and interdisciplinary quarterly policy journal dedicated to bringing diverse perspectives to bear on vital traditional and non-traditional security issues that impact China’s strategic development and its relations with the United States and the region. The journal seeks to improve the understanding of China amongst American policy practitioners and the public by providing authoritative analysis on critical security issues.

China Security presents ideas from a wide range of intellectual traditions that cover both theoretical and policy-oriented research on political, social, economic and military issues relevant to China. As an independent journal, China Security provides a peer reviewed forum for research publication that enhances the communication of concepts and promotes a creative dialogue within China and across national boundaries.

The articles in China Security do not represent any consensus of opinion. While readers may agree or disagree with the ideas presented in any one brief, it is our purpose to present a diversity of views rather than identifying with a particular body of beliefs. The analyses, interpretations and conclusions expressed in China Security are solely those of the individual authors and should not be attributed to the World Security Institute China Program, China Security’s editorial board or any individuals or organizations.
