Before joining LSE, he was Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin.

Abstract:

In this lecture, Prof. Peter Trubowitz discusses the sources of the anti-globalist backlash in Western democracies and its implications for China in a world where international power and authority are increasingly contested.
