PAIS Alum's Research Accepted by BCUR
PAIS, class of 2015, alum Michael Yip's final year research on China and Japan has recently been accepted at the British Conference of Undergraduate Research. He is due to give an oral presentation in March 2016.
Michael's research uses history and international political economy to compare China's and Japan's past and present ability to lead East Asia. At its core, his research uses a hybrid approach of giving equal weight to both actors and issues in his analysis - in order to give a much more well-rounded conclusion. It therefore tries to move away from pre-existing commentary that has tended to focus only on one or the other.
As part of this research project, Michael has already presented at the International Conference of Undergraduate Research and intends on submitting his work to journals.
