People > Frank N Pieke
Dr. Frank N. Pieke (1957) studied Cultural Anthropology and Chinese Studies at the University of Amsterdam and the University of California, Berkeley, where he received his Ph.D. in 1992. After lectureships in Leiden and Oxford, and a professorship in Modern China studies at Leiden University, he joined the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) in Berlin as director and CEO in August 2018.
His current research revolves around the impact of China on the Netherlands and the EU, foreign immigrant groups in China and the transformation of Chinese Communist Party. His most recent books are The Good Communist (2009) and Knowing China (2016), both published by Cambridge University Press. He just finished a new edited volume on Global East Asia that will be published by the University of California Press in 2020. In Oxford, Dr. Frank N. Pieke set up and directed the Oxford China Centre.
In this short paper, I will trace the evolution of views and debate on China specifically in Europe. European attitudes towards China are part of more broadly Western perceptions of China.
