Prof. Dr. Stephen Halsey

I am a tenured professor of modern Chinese history but also consult about economic, environmental, and foreign policy issues in East Asia with a range of businesses, NGOs, and government agencies. Commissioned studies have examined subjects such as fiscal crises in China, supply chain security in China, energy security in the Middle East and Indian Ocean basin, and Chinese environmental policy. I also offer corporate training on business practices in China, Japan, and Korea. My academic scholarship and teaching focus on the intersection of state power, economic development, and environmental change in late imperial and modern China (1850–present). I completed my PhD in modern Chinese history at the University of Chicago after studying foreign affairs at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University. I am now based in Miami Beach, USA, and in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
