在大陸研究中心,他的研究聚焦於考察美國外交政策精英對中國的看法如何演變。目前,尹博士正在分析一個原始數據庫,探討美國智庫在討論海洋議題時如何描述中國(例如,中國是否是修正主義大國)以及相關的政策建議(例如,是否依賴外交對話處理與中國的矛盾)。

George Yin (Senior Research Fellow) received his Ph.D. in government from Harvard University and his MSc in political economy from the London School of Economics. He works on international security, diplomacy, Sino-U.S. relations, and the international relations of the Indo-Pacific. Specifically, his research often investigates when and why states – at both the elite and the public levels -- make suboptimal decisions despite the pressures of great power competition, with reference to U.S.-Taiwan-China relations and 19th century great power politics. His works have been published in Foreign Affairs, Asian Survey, the National Interest, War on the Rocks, among others.

Dr. Yin is also an associate-in-research at the Harvard University Fairbanks Center for Chinese Studies and a senior advisor to Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF; Taiwan's key organization handling affairs with China).
