Guilford College: George Guo Joins CSIS Podcast

Press release from Guilford College:

2022-02-25

Lincoln Financial Professor of Political Science George Guo recently talked about his latest book, The Politics of the Core Leader in China (Cambridge University Press, 2019), in a podcast interview with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). 

He joined the podcast to discuss how the "core" of the leadership in China had been influenced by traditional Chinese political thought and China's long political history. He also talked about how the "core" leader affected the dynamics of the elite politics and the mechanism of the shift from a "collective leadership" to strongman politics and vise versa.  

George's podcast with Jude Blanchette, Freeman Chair in China Studies of the CSIS, is available online.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a bipartisan, nonprofit policy research organization dedicated to advancing practical ideas to address the world’s greatest challenges. The CSIS has been named the No. 1 think tank in the United States in the Global Go To Think Tank Index. In the University of Pennsylvania's 2019 Global Go To Think Tanks Report, CSIS is ranked the No. 1 think tank in the United States across all fields, the "Top Defense and National Security Think Tank" in the world, and the fourth best think tank in the world overall.
