CWP Alum Hong Zhang Named Co-Editor Of New Journal: Global China Pulse

Global China Pulse (GCP) is an open access biannual publication that focuses on China’s international engagements in their various manifestations. Alongside the informational infrastructure The People’s Map of Global China provides, GCP offers a new space to publish content in a variety of styles and, possibly, experiment with different approaches and formats. GCP rests on two pillars: the conviction that today more than ever it is necessary to bridge the gap between the scholarly community, civil society, and the general public; and the related belief that open access is necessary to ethically reappropriate academic research from commercial publishers who restrict the free circulation of ideas.

It can be accessed at: https://thepeoplesmap.net/globalchinapulse/global-china-pulse-1-2022/

The inaugural issue includes a contribution by another CWP alum Austin Strange: https://thepeoplesmap.net/globalchinapulse/high-profile-infrastructure-and-chinas-global-influence-gamble/
