Project Title
For continued support for the Wilson China Fellowship program for early career scholars
Date
Sep. 12, 2024
Duration
41 months
Description
China’s role in shaping economic, political, social, and security developments in Asia and beyond is having profound implications on global peace and stability. Understanding these developments and their relevance to the United States requires a diverse range of expert voices in the U.S. foreign policy conversation. To bring these voices to the forefront, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars supports an annual cohort of sixteen China-focused fellows whose expertise and interests cross disciplinary, geographic, and institutional bounds. Through research scholarships and mentorship, the Wilson China Fellowship develops a network of scholars equipped to both inform and challenge the prevailing policy wisdom. Each cohort culminates in a collection of policy recommendations on a wide variety of timely issues promoted to U.S. policymakers.

Project Title
For one-time funding for a project to assess the economic and social costs of a limited nuclear war
Date
Dec. 12, 2024
Duration
24 months
Description
Analysis of the effects of nuclear war tends to focus on a large-scale nuclear exchange and on the immediate casualties and impact on climate. The implications of more limited nuclear use and its economic and societal consequences are less analyzed or understood. With this grant, the University of Maryland will help fill this gap by providing a comprehensive study of the costs of nuclear war with a focus on the more limited nuclear exchanges that represent the most likely scenario for the use of nuclear weapons today. The project will also go beyond immediate physical effects to analyze the longer term economic and societal consequences of limited nuclear use. The researchers will employ physics, engineering, and economic modeling to promote a better understanding of the repercussions of limited nuclear strikes on key countries.
