This panel examines recent trends in subnational relations with China and Taiwan, with a focus on the specific opportunities and challenges facing heartland states such as Iowa. Kyle Jaros (University of Notre Dame) and Sara Newland (Smith College) will share findings from their ongoing research on US-China subnational relations and work with the Truman Center for National Policy. David Skidmore (Drake University) will discuss how Iowa’s interactions with China and Taiwan fit into this larger picture and how shifts in the global political economy affect the context for cities’ and states’ foreign engagement.
