Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Politics, Princeton University
Email: zeh@princeton.edu
Welcome! My name is Ze Han. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University, where I am affiliated with the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance (NCGG). I study international political economy, focusing on the political ramifications of China’s rise.
I am on the 2024-25 academic job market.
My dissertation is advised by Professors Helen V. Milner (chair), Rory Truex, and James Raymond Vreeland. I examine how China’s evolving international economic engagement, especially through foreign direct investments (FDI) and trade, influences policy-making processes, voting behavior, and public opinion in advanced democracies.
Prior to my time at Princeton, I earned a B.A. in International Politics from the University of International Relations in China and a double M.A. in Diplomacy and Public Policy from Peking University in China and the University of Tokyo in Japan, both with the highest honors.
