CUSP Projects

Our Work

The program supports research on the political, economic and technological dimensions of U.S.–China relations. Faculty and affiliated scholars examine bilateral tensions, areas of cooperation and the broader strategic environment in which both countries operate. This work situates current developments within longer historical and institutional contexts.

The three pillars of CUSP’s efforts are:

Diplomacy

Bilateral Relations and Regional Responses to the U.S. and China

Global Order Competition

The system is unraveling. How do Beijing and Washington respond?

Impacts of Technology

Unprecedented changes lead to cooperation—or competition?

Carnegie China Fellowship

The Carnegie China Fellowship, generously supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, is a flagship of our program. We are proud to support cohorts of rising American scholars interested in understanding the rise of China, its implications for the broader international community, and its relationship with the United States.
