An article on how “Ideas and Influence: Scholarship as a Harbinger of Counterterrorism Institutions, Policies and Laws in the People’s Republic of China” by Dr. Jeffrey Reeves was just published in the “Terrorism and Political Violence” journal.

In the article, Reeves demonstrates how scholarship on terrorism in China has provided the intellectual backdrop against which China’s leadership has developed the country’s counterterrorism institutions, policies, and laws.  He suggests that “building on the linkages between scholarship and policy-making may create potential avenues for policy reform in China’s current counterterrorism architecture.”
