Professor Jane Duckett (Centre Director)
Professor in Chinese and Comparative Politics, Department of Politics, University of Glasgow
Email: j.duckett@lbss.gla.ac.uk.
Jane Duckett studied modern Chinese at Leeds University (1983-7) and Chinese politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (1989-1995). She studied at Fudan University in 1984-5 and 1987-8, at Nankai University from 1992-3 and worked for the US law firm Paul Weiss in Shanghai from 1988-9. Jane’s research is in contemporary Chinese governance and politics. Her early research examined the entrepreneurial activities of local officials in the 1990s. More recently, her research has been driven by a fascination with Chinese health and social policy, the enormous redistributive consequences of which are often overlooked in studies of Chinese politics. This has led to studies of local social welfare financing, health insurance reform, poverty and unemployment policy. One of her most recent projects, funded through a Leverhulme Research Fellowship, examined the influence of NGOs on the making of health policy. Jane has worked as a policy and social development consultant on a number of internationally-funded aid projects in China. Her research has been funded by the ESRC, Leverhulme Trust, British Council, British Academy, and the European Commission. She is an Elected Member of the Universities China Committee London and its Expert Panel (2005-08).
