O autorze

Chien-Yi Lu is an Associate Research Fellow at the Institute of European and American Studies of Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan. Her research focuses on how democracy has transmuted as regional integration deepened and supranational institutions gained more power, and how democracy, in its neoliberalized form, has intervened in our ability to recognize, curb, and cope with climate change.
