The SAIS China Global Research Center (SCGRC) is a resource center for China expertise and research based at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Johns Hopkins University in Washington D.C.[1]. The center serves as a focal point for the deep and broad China expertise and experience across the school’s campus locations in Bologna, Italy; Nanjing, China; and Washington, D.C[2].

History

The SCGRC is formally known as SAIS China Studies.

For most of the period between 1990 to 2000, then associate professor of China Studies, Alice L. Miller, was the director of the China Studies Program[3][4].

In October 1997, David M. Lampton, one of the country's leading authorities on China[5] and an expert in Chinese politics and U.S.-China relations[6] assumed the role of the George and Sadie Hyman Chair of China Studies and Director of SAIS China Studies[7][5].

The intent of the China Studies initiative was to facilitate then-SAIS Dean, Vali Nasr's vision for the school, One SAIS[8]. Lampton described the initiative as a means of coordinating SAIS's 21st-century relationships with China, stating that "We want to bring one conceptual mind to work to say what do we want the total footprint of SAIS activity in China to look like"[8]. In his capacity as Director, Lampton worked closely with the Hopkins Nanjing Center (HNC)[5], the only institution of its kind that is fully bilingual, English and Chinese, in its academic programs[9].

[10][11]

The SCGRC was formally launched on June 16, 2021, which included a day-long webinar entitled “The Making and Unmaking of U.S.-China Relations”[12][13] and focused on the upcoming publication Engaging China: Fifty Years of Sino-American Relations, developed by Anne Thurston, senior research professor at SAIS. The launch webinar also featured presentations from authors of chapters within Engaging China followed by panel discussions on U.S.-China issues with experts from throughout Johns Hopkins schools and divisions[14]

Current Leadership

Andrew Mertha is the Inaugural Director of the SCGRC, George and Sadie Hyman Professor of China, Director of the China Studies Program, and Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs and International Research Cooperation at SAIS[15]. He is the author of three books, a professor, and scholar of Chinese and Cambodian politics with a particular emphasis on bureaucracy, institutions, Leninist Party Systems, policy making and implementation, and US-China Relations[16][17][18]. Mertha speaks Khmer, Chinese (Mandarin), French, and Hungarian[19]. He is one of the country's few scholars on China-Cambodia relations due to his proficiency in Khmer[20].

Mertha earned his doctor of philosophy in Political Science and a bachelor of arts in Political Science from the University of Michigan[21].

Mertha has extensive experience in business, education, and research in China and Cambodia. He lived in China for seven years as an English teacher (1988-1989), a representative for a toy company (1991-1994, 1995, and 1996), and a scholar (1998-present). He has been conducting field and archival work in Cambodia since 2009[22].

Mertha joined SAIS in 2018[23] and served as the Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs and International Research Cooperation from 2019 to 2021[24]. At SAIS, he teaches courses such as Leadership in China and Contemporary Chinese politics. Before he joined SAIS, he was a Professor and Associate Professor in the Department of Government at Cornell University from 2008-2018[25]. He was also the director of Cornell's China and Asia-Pacific Studies programs and a core faculty member in the East Asia and Southeast Asia programs[26]. From 2001-2008, he served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science/Program in International and Area Studies at the Washington University in St. Louis[27].

Mertha has authored three monographs: The Politics of Piracy: Intellectual Property in Contemporary China (Cornell University Press, 2005), China’s Water Warriors: Citizen Action and Policy Change (Cornell University Press, 2008), and Brothers in Arms: Chinese Aid to the Khmer Rouge, 1975-1979 (Cornell University Press, 2014). His edited volume, May Ebihara’s Svay: A Cambodian Village, with an introduction by Judy Ledgerwood, was published in 2018[28].

He is on the board of directors of the Center for Khmer Studies, the only American Overseas Research Center in mainland Southeast Asia[29]. He is a member of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, and an alumnus of the National Committee on United States–China Relations Public Intellectuals Program, 2008-2010, a fellowship program that aims to strengthen links among U.S. academics, policymakers, opinion leaders, and the public to increase Americans understanding of China[30] [1]

He is also a member of the American Political Science Association, Association for Asian Studies, and International Studies Association and sits on several Editorial Committees for journals such as the Journal of Comparative Politics, The China Quarterly, and Asian Survey[15].
