China’s Quest for Environmental Sustainability: An International Business Perspective

Prof. Maoliang Bu (School of Business, Nanjing University; Hopkins-Nanjing Center)

Registration

Abstract

How does globalization shape China’s environmental sustainability? Is globalization good or bad for China’s environment? Moreover, how is global environmental sustainability influenced by China’s “One Belt One Road“ Initiative? Can China save the Earth? To answer the above questions, the role of multinational enterprises is the elephant in the room.

The seminar will share Dr. Bu’s research on the topic from the intersectional field of international business (IB), sustainable development, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The presenter will reflect from broader perspectives (including history, geography, and political science) while focusing on the insights from international business.
