Yingyi Ma

BEST BOOK AWARD FROM THE CIES STUDY ABROAD AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES SIG

Scott A. Snyder examines the trajectory of fifty years of South Korean foreign policy and offers predictions—and a prescription—for the future. Pairing a historical perspective with a shrewd understanding of today’s political landscape, Snyder contends that South Korea’s best strategy remains investing in a robust alliance with the United States.

Yingyi Ma offers a multifaceted analysis of the wave of Chinese students across American higher education based on research in both Chinese high schools and U.S. institutions. Ma argues that their experiences embody the duality of ambition and anxiety that arises from transformative social changes in China.
