James Lee
I’m an American scholar of strategic studies. I’m an Assistant Research Fellow (Assistant Professor) at the Institute of European and American Studies at Academia Sinica, Taiwan’s academy of sciences, where I am a participating faculty member in the joint doctoral program with the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. I am also affiliated with the NATO Defense College in Rome, 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 subsequently held postdoctoral and visiting positions in the United States and Europe.
My research interests are in historical international relations, focusing on Ancient Greece and the Cold War. I am particularly interested in U.S. foreign policy, the legal status of Taiwan in transatlantic relations, and the reception of Thucydides in the field of strategic studies.
