Rate My Professor Evelyn Goh

Goh specializes in international relations theory and practice, with expertise in China, the U.S., Northeast and Southeast Asia. Her research examines East Asian security, U.S.-China and China-Japan relations (historical and contemporary), non-traditional security, strategic diplomacy, and regional order dynamics. Key publications include her award-winning book The Struggle for Order: Hegemony, Hierarchy and Transition in Post-Cold War East Asia (Oxford University Press, 2013); Constructing the US Rapprochement with China, 1961-1974 (Cambridge University Press, 2004); Rising China’s Influence in Developing Asia (Oxford University Press, 2016, edited); and Re-thinking Sino-Japanese Alienation: History Problems and Historical Opportunities (Oxford University Press, 2020, with Barry Buzan). Influential articles such as ‘Great Powers and Hierarchical Order in Southeast Asia’ (International Security, 2007/2008) have shaped debates on hierarchy in international relations. She has won grants from the Australian Research Council (Discovery Grant 2019-2022), UK Economic and Social Research Council Mid-Career Fellowship (2011-12), and others. As Co-Managing Editor of Cambridge Studies in International Relations and editorial board member for International Security, International Theory, Asian Security, and Journal of Global Security Studies, her contributions have profoundly impacted security studies and Asian international politics.
