About關於

Democracy, opinion, and party-state governance in East Asia東亞的民主、民意與黨國治理

My research sits at the intersection of comparative politics, East Asian democracies, and China studies. Using survey experiments, conjoint designs, and large cross-national opinion data (including several waves of the Asian Barometer Survey), I study how citizens in Taiwan, mainland China, South Korea, and Japan understand democracy, extend political trust, and form judgments about regional security and cross-strait relations.

A parallel line of research examines the political economy and governance of party-states, including political socialization, propaganda, and public diplomacy in China, as well as the sources of democratic identity and national identity formation in Taiwan and South Korea.

I completed a Ph.D. in Politics at Durham University (2013) and previously held appointments at Nanjing University and Shandong University before joining National Taiwan University in 2024.

我的研究橫跨比較政治、東亞民主與中國研究。透過調查實驗、聯合分析(conjoint)與跨國民意資料(包括多波亞洲民主動態調查),探討臺灣、中國大陸、南韓與日本的民眾如何理解民主、給予政治信任,並對區域安全與兩岸關係做出判斷。

另一條研究主線關注黨國體制的政治經濟與治理,包括中國的政治社會化、宣傳與公共外交,以及臺灣與南韓的國族認同形成過程。

2013 年取得英國杜倫大學(Durham University)政治學博士學位,曾任教於南京大學與山東大學,並於 2024 年加入國立臺灣大學。
