ERC Starting Grant (2019 til 2023)
BROKEX is an interdisciplinary research project funded by a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. Heidi Østbø Haugen is the principal investigator (PI). The project will run from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2023.
Chinese global engagements are deepening across sectors and geographic regions. The objective of BROKEX is to fill specific gaps in knowledge about how China’s extraversion advances. The project takes an original approach by examining brokers who mediate in transnational fields. It opens China’s global integration to analysis by moving beyond descriptions of input and output characteristics to elucidate underlying dynamics.The PI and three postdoctoral researchers will carry out ethnographic fieldwork in the Pearl River Delta, South China, that yield complementary information on the common challenge of brokering across geographic scales:1) Connecting low-cost Chinese manufacturing with African markets;2) Integrating Chinese academic research with global scientific communities;3) Attracting new foreign investments to China to underpin industrial upgrading (case study funded through Research Council of Norway project);4) Transnational architecture production.
The cases offer insights into the mechanisms of brokerage across distinctive sectors. We build on the empirical findings and literature to develop brokerage theory. Social scientific research on brokerage commonly uses the morphology of social networks as its starting point, and focuses on how actors positioned at the intersection between groups operate.
We're currently hiring two postdocs and one PhD. Website.
Unge forskertalenter-prosjekt (2018 til 2021)
"Theorizing brokerage through China's extraversion". Prosjektet vil videreutvikle teorier om «brokerage» – det å fungere som mellomledd eller megler. Analysen bygger på feltstudier i Guangdong-provinsen av internasjonal handel, forskningssamarbeid, og investeringer.
Postdoktorprosjekt (2013 til 2018)
Postdoktorprosjektet mitt "Production, trade and consumption in South-South commodity flows: Re-theorizing from below" var finansiert gjennom Forskningsrådets FRIPRO-program. Prosjektomtale på Forskningsrådets nettsider.
Nettstedet U-Turn Asia er laget i samarbeid med gambiaske migranter i Kina som del av postdoktorprosjektet.
