Jørgen Delman professor of China Studies, University of Copenhagen

Professor Jørgen Delman has more than 35 years of experience with China and Chinese affairs and we are proud to present him as one of the key speakers and as workshop leader at the China Competences event on 25 May 2012.

Professor Delman is currently serving at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (TORS) at Copenhagen University.  Prior to this he directed the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS) for seven years.

His research has focused on development dynamics in modern China, his primary focus being the relationship between China's party-state and organization of civil society, the interaction between private businesses and the party-state, and innovation in China.

He has worked with development in several sectors, including the agricultural and food sector and sustainable energy.

For this reason he is extremely knowledgeable about power structures and the political system in China and his Summer School “Decoding China” educating private and business managers on how to navigate has been a great success. His vast and deep experience with China makes Professor Delman one of Denmark’s most qualified and respected experts on Chinese affairs.
