Freie Uni­versität Ber­lin - Fachbereich Geschichts- und Kul­tur­wis­senschaften - Ostas­ien und Vor­derer Ori­ent - Insti­tute for Chinese Stud­ies

The Post Doc will join the ERC-fun­ded pro­ject “Gov­ern­ing with Data: Local Exper­i­ment­a­tion in Author­it­arian China” led by Prof. Genia Kostka (Freie Uni­versity Ber­lin). The pos­i­tion provides an oppor­tun­ity for both inde­pend­ent and col­lab­or­at­ive research within an ambi­tious pro­ject while work­ing in a small research team in Ber­lin.
This research pro­ject aims to provide empir­ical and con­cep­tual under­stand­ing of digit­al­ising gov­ernance prac­tices in author­it­arian China. Through mixed-method, the pro­ject will achieve three object­ives: 1. Study the vari­ation in local digital gov­ernance modes and under­stand why these modes evolved in dif­fer­ent ways. 2. Explore the mech­an­isms through which digital tech­no­lo­gies are integ­rated into local decision mak­ing pro­cesses and gov­ernance struc­tures. 3. Assess the impacts of new digital gov­ernance modes for cit­izens, busi­nesses and the state.
