Audrye Wong

Audrye Wong is a Grand Strategy, Security, and Statecraft Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, with additional postdoctoral affiliations at the Brookings Institution’s Foreign Policy Program and at the An Wang China and the World Program at Harvard’s Fairbank Center. She completed her PhD in Security Studies at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where she was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. Her research has also been supported by the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Tobin Project, and the Bradley Foundation.

Her research interests cover Asia-Pacific security issues and China's foreign policy, at the intersections of international security and international political economy. She is interested in when and how states can translate their material capabilities into geopolitical influence. Her current book project examines China’s strategies of economic statecraft and patterns of effectiveness across different target countries. Other work has looked at the role of subnational actors in China’s foreign policy and at asymmetrical alliance relationships, with a focus on East and Southeast Asia.

Previously, She was a Junior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. She earned my BA in Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, with a minor in Translation and Intercultural Communication. During her fellowship, Audrye is working on her book manuscript on the strategies and effectiveness of economic statecraft.
