This event, part of the department’s seminar series, will be held as a public lecture. Members of the university community, as well as anyone interested in economics, will have the opportunity to gain insights from a world-renowned scholar.

The lecture will address the topic of “Global Geopolitical Transformation and the New World Economic Order.” In light of recent developments such as the restructuring of global supply chains, intensifying economic competition between countries, and the spread of protectionism, the session will offer an in-depth discussion of the implications of the emerging economic order within this rapidly changing international landscape.

Professor Chang is a leading authority in political economy and development economics, recognized in both academia and the public sphere for his analyses of economic development and industrial policy. He is particularly well known as the author of international bestsellers such as “Kicking Away the Ladder” and “Bad Samaritans.”

A representative from the Department of Economics at Chung-Ang University commented, “At a time of growing geopolitical uncertainty worldwide, we expect this lecture will greatly help our students gain insight into and broaden their understanding of the structural changes in the global economy.”
