Yuezhou Yang is Research Fellow at the LSE-Fudan Global Public Policy Hub at the LSE. She completed her PhD in International Development at the LSE, and holds an MSc in Bioenergy from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Her research explores how Chinese global economic integration reshapes political and economic structures in the Global South, with a particular focus on Chinese foreign policy, African conflict over land and natural resources, politics of infrastructure development, and international political economy of critical raw materials. Rooted in extensive fieldwork and qualitative and mixed-methods approaches, her research investigates the contested relationships between state, capital, and citizenship under conditions of late capitalism.
