George Yin 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). Formerly, he was the executive director for the Caucus on Strategic and Diplomacy Consensus at Taiwan’s parliament and a non-resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. He has also taught at Swarthmore College and Dartmouth College.

Dr. Yin has worked with the Kennedy family to edit and publish the Chinese version of JFK: A Vision for America, the official volume that commemorates the centennial of President John F. Kennedy’s birth. Dr Yin has also published a series of widely-read essays on Taiwan’s grand strategy (小國大戰略; “grand strategy for a small state”). Dr Yin’s analysis has appeared in the BBC, Reuters, The Guardian, National Public Radio, the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC), Voice of America (VOA), Le Figaro, and the Swiss Public Radio, among others.
