The PhD researcher will be working in the project “China's New Silk Road Initiative in North Rhine-Westphalia and Pakistan,” led by Dr Katja Mielke and Professor Conrad Schetter, subject to funding approval by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The research project investigates the implementation of China's New Silk Road Initiative in North Rhine-Westphalia and Pakistan. In Pakistan, the project seeks to understand how local ordering dynamics are influenced by large infrastructure projects, and what role concrete negotiation processes play in this. In Germany (Duisburg/North Rhine-Westphalia), the comparative focus is on the inland port as the end point of the New Silk Road in Europe. The project is part of the research consortium “Local perspectives on transregional processes of entanglements and disentanglements” (partners: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient and BICC).
