The Annual Pierre du Bois Doctoral Workshop brings together doctoral researchers and specialists to examine economic, political and technological exchanges between Asian communist states and the capitalist world during the Cold War. Speakers include LIU Yi and YANG Ziru (Geneva Graduate Institute), Dr. Severyan Dyakonov (SNSF, University of Fribourg) and Karina Khasnulina (Leipzig University). The workshop investigates how cross-bloc entanglements across the so-called “Bamboo Curtain” persisted and how they shaped Cold War rivalry and Asian economic development.
