When Kin Are Far
This study examines how older adults in China reorganize their social support networks following the migration of their adult children. Drawing on the Social Convoy Model (SCM) and Socioemotional Selectivity Theory (SST), the study explores how older adults respond to intergenerational geographic separation through two common arrangements: relocating to live closer to their children or remaining in their place of origin as empty-nest older adults…
Pay to play? Voluntary contributions and national representation in international organizations
Temporary Voices in Permanent Halls
This study examines the institutionalization of consultant reliance within the United Nations, revealing how consultants—originally intended for short‐term, specialized roles—have come to occupy core organizational functions. Rather than a temporary solution, consultant employment has become embedded in daily operations, producing a system resistant to reform. Introducing the concept of “institutionalized decoupling,” the study analyzes how contr…
Beyond proximity
Challenging norms, facing backlash
Power orchestrates
This study investigates how states leverage leadership positions in international organizations (IOs) to enhance their staff representation. Using an original dataset of 25 United Nations system agencies from 1996 to 2022, we show that leadership roles can help states enhance their staff representation. Two mechanisms drive this influence: leaders secure voluntary contributions from their home countries to create favorable conditions for national…
When urban poverty becomes a tourist attraction
Behind closed doors
This research explores the mechanisms through which member states informally shape staffing decisions in the United Nations, extending the traditional view of influence beyond mere structural power within international organizations.

Coping With Parental Pressure to Get Married
Postponed marriage has become a trend in China's major cities over the last decade. However, due to persistent traditional gender role expectations, women who remain single in their late 20s and beyond still face significant parental pressure to get married and are the subjects of negative societal discourse. Through semi-structured interviews with 30 never-married Chinese professional women who are white-collar workers based in Beijing, this res…
Me Too? Yes, Me Too! Sexual Harassment of Female Expatriates in China’s Overseas Enterprises
Through in-depth interviews with Chinese female expatriates who have worked in the country's overseas enterprises in developing countries, this study found that female expatriates frequently encountered sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based prejudice from both home and host countries. The lack of organizational gender consciousness and mechanisms to address gender inequality contributes to women's vulnerability to gender-based workpla…
Where the Rainbow Rises
The past decade has witnessed a new trend towards restrictions and surveillance on civil society organizations in China, which seriously affected China’s grassroots LGBT NGOs. Based on a field study of Chinese grassroots LGBT NGOs, this article explores the coping strategies utilized by these organizations to survive in a restricted civic space. Empirical evidence shows these organizations adopting various tactics to obtain funding and legitimacy…
Multi-Level Governance, Policy Coordination and Subnational Responses to Covid-19
The study adopted the multi-level governance theory for a comparative analysis of how the structure and modes of policy coordination shaped subnational policy responses to COVID-19 in Hubei Province, China, and New York State, USA. It was found that both countries showed a hybrid form of vertical and horizontal coordination in COVID-19 responses despite different political systems. Hubei depended more on vertical steering and horizontal support w…
Leftover Women' or Single by Choice
In today's Chinese society, we see more and more well-educated, well-paid, and independent career women. However, as traditional femininity has been associated with subordination and sacrifice, well-educated career women are perceived as less feminine and less like proper 'women' or prospective wives. Career women who remain single until their late twenties have been referred to within Chinese popular culture as 'leftover women.' The current rese…
Devalued' Daughters Versus 'Appreciated' Sons
Postponed marriage is a general trend among today's Chinese young people. However, since in traditional Chinese culture, marriage has been regarded as a family responsibility, when adult children reach a certain age, their parents often push them for marriage. In recent years, some retired parents in China's major cities voluntarily organized matchmaking markets in parks to exchange their single adult children's personal information in order to '…
