Bonnie S. Glaser (Chinese: , born date) is a senior adviser for Asia and the director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Glaser is also a non-resident fellow with the Lowy Institute in Sydney, a senior associate with CSIS Pacific Forum, and a consultant for the U.S. government on East Asia.[1] Glaser writes extensively on various aspects of Chinese foreign policy, including Sino-American relations,[2] U.S.-China military ties, Cross-Strait relations,[3][4] China’s relations with Japan[5] and Korea,[6] Chinese perspectives on missile defense,[7] and multilateral security in Asia.[8]
Career
Glaser began her career as a consultant for various U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Defense and Department of State. In 1997 she served as a member of the Defense Department’s Defense Policy Board China Panel.
Glaser joined CSIS in 2003 as a senior associate in the International Security Program. Since 2008 Glaser has focused on issues related to Chinese foreign and security policy at CSIS, beginning as a Senior Adviser with the Freeman Chair in China Studies.[9]
In addition to her research, Glaser serves as a key interlocutor for experts and officials speaking at CSIS events. Glaser shared the stage with the Chinese Ambassador to Washington, Cui Tiankai, as he delivered China's perspective following the Permanent Court of Arbitration's verdict[10] on China's claims to the South China Sea.[11]
Glaser also hosts three executive training programs. Her programs bring defense or foreign affairs officials to Washington, D.C., where they can enhance their "understanding of U.S. thinking on foreign and defense policy issues."[12]
Congressional Testimonies
China Power Project
In 2016 Glaser launched a new CSIS initiative, the China Power Project. The Glaser-directed initiative seeks to fill a void in the public's understanding of China's power and capabilities by analyzing "key developments in the country’s military, economic, technological, social and diplomatic rise" in interactive and visually friendly formats.[13]
A key question driving the project is the competition, sometimes friendly, sometimes rivalrous, between China and the United States:
Glaser said she was constantly asked the question of whether China would become a superpower to rival the US. "It really can only be understood when you break it down to the components of power," she explained. "Where is China narrowing the gap or does it even have the edge, and where it is lagging behind?"[14]
Glaser's China Power Project microsite focuses on using data and expert analysis to bring greater clarity and understanding to these questions.[15]
