Welcome！
My name is Shaohua YAN, I am assistant professor of European Studies at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies as well as English editor for the Journal of Strategy and Decision-Making. I hold a PhD in European Studies from the University of Hong Kong, a MA in EU International Relations and Diplomacy from the the College of Europe in Bruges as well as a MA and a BA in World History from Nankai University.
Before joining the GDUFS in 2017, I was Asia Fellow at ESSCA School of Management (Shanghai), co-teaching courses on ‘Asian Economy and Geopolitics’ as well as ‘Country Risk Analysis’. I was visiting researcher at the European Parliament library in Luxembourg (2014) and European Parliament DG External Policies in Brussels (2015).
Specializing in European foreign policy, China-EU relations as well as Hong Kong’s external relations, I have published a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes on those topics. As the winner of a number of research grants from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Education, I have conducted research into Chinese interest representation in the EU as well as China’s cooperation with the Central and Eastern European countries.
As acting coordinator on behalf of GDFUS for the Erasmus+ project EURASIA which brings together 8 universities across Europe and Asia, I have coordinated the development and updating of European studies courses at the university. I currently teach ‘EU Politics and Policies’ & ‘Understanding the European Union ’ as part of the EURASIA project.
I have been a regular contributor to Chinese and international media, including South China Morning Post, China Daily, the Diplomat, Global Times, Xinhua News Agency, China Global Television Network, China Radio International, the Parliament Magazine, and EurActiv, etc.
