Yuhua Wang (Chinese: 王裕华) is a Chinese-American political scientist who researches comparative politics, taking the history of China as a sample to explore the significance of the construction of "state capacity" for state and social development. Currently, he is a professor in the Department of Government at Harvard University whose research focuses on the politics of state-building.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Wang received his Bachelor's degree and Master's degree from Peking University in 2003 and 2006,[2] and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan in 2011 under the supervision of Kenneth Lieberthal.[3][4] From 2011 to 2015, Wang was assistant professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania.[4] Wang has been teaching at Harvard since 2015. [5]

Publications

[edit]

Wang's research shows that China’s younger generation who did not witness the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre are still influenced by it if their parents discuss political issues at home. Living under a repressive government, Chinese parents tell their children not to trust leaders.[6]
