The Global Resource Nexus. Presentations in Beijing

Philip.Beijing.July2012.9During July, Philip presented the report of the Transatlantic Academy to two different audiences in Beijing. The first talk was at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy, which is based at Tsinghua University and is a partnership between Tsinghua University and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The second event was a closed session with a small number of senior advisers to China’s government.
