The core mission of the TOChina Hub is to promote a holistic understanding of contemporary China’s political-institutional and socio-economic change through area studies-inflected research in the social sciences.

Researchers affiliated to the TOChina Hub pursue rigorous, in-depth research based on international and Chinese sources, intensive fieldwork and surveys with senior local partners. Particular attention is devoted to Italy-China relations, and to China’s evolving role in the Euro-Mediterranean region (南欧西亚北非).

The TOChina hub aims to develop knowledge that is relevant to key stakeholders in the relations with China, including graduate students, business and institutions.
