John Yasuda, ‘05

John Yasuda简历

John Yasuda received his MPhil in Comparative Politics in 2007 with a focus on contemporary China. Financial support from the Contemporary China Studies Programme funded John's studies at Oxford and his fieldwork for a comparative project on soft power institutions in China and Japan. The comparative politics program provided both excellent instruction in political science methodology and Chinese contemporary politics. John greatly benefited from the Oxford program's unique commitment to Area Studies and the broader Comparative Politics field. The MPhil program's unique one-on-one tutorial system reinforced important political science concepts and provided ample opportunity to discuss his own research with senior faculty. Prior to his studies at Oxford, John Graduated with a B.A. in Government from Harvard University in 2005. John is currently pursuing his PhD in Political Science at the University California, Berkeley. His scholarly interests in China relate to China's institutional development in the reform era, informal institutions, and social movements.
