Yuhua Wang
Yuhua Wang is an Assistant Professor of political science at University of Pennsylvania. Yuhua’s research combines Comparative Politics with a specialty in China and American Politics. His research is motivated by one question: “Under what conditions are politicians with discretionary power willing to abide by rules of the game?” As an attempt to address this question, Yuhua’s research examines the rise of rule of law in authoritarian regimes, especially China and the politics of judicial review in the United States. Yuhua received a B.A. and M.A. from Peking University (Beijing, China) in 2003 and 2006 and a Ph.D. in Political Science from University of Michigan in 2011.
