James Lee

I’m an American scholar of strategic studies based in Taiwan. My research is at the intersection of international relations, diplomatic history, and international law, with a focus on U.S.-Taiwan-Europe relations and the legal status of Taiwan.

I’m an Assistant Research Fellow (Assistant Professor) at the Institute of European and American Studies at Academia Sinica, the national academy of the Republic of China (Taiwan). I also hold affiliations with the NATO Defense College, the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), and Canada’s Network for Strategic Analysis. I received my Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University in 2018, and I have held research positions or visiting affiliations with the European University Institute in Florence; the University of California, San Diego; the NATO Defense College in Rome; the Department of War Studies at King’s College London; and the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Vienna.
