About TOChina

TOChina is a Working Unit of the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Torino. It is operational since May 2007 and is based next to the office of the Dean in Vicolo Benevello 3/A, Torino IT (see map).

In 2010, given the unexpected success of TOChina’s initiatives, the Faculty launched a new comprehensive TOAsia project, of which TOChina is now part. New programmes on contemporary India and the Middle East have been launched and can be viewed on this website.

TOChina has been set up with the aim of invigorating and streamlining the Faculty’s approach to China, both in the academic and institutional spheres.

Over the last three years of activity TOChina has

launched three editions of an increasingly prestigious Summer School on Chinese politics and economics;

coordinated the start-up of two unique programmes for students wishing to study and network in China (see WLE and especially CFI);

overseen China-related academic courses in the newly-established Percorso di Laurea Magistrale in Global Studies (see here);

supervised a number of official and research missions by faculty members in China;

promoted the adoption of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Faculty and the School of Media and Cross-Cultural Communications (Zhejiang University, PRC);

set the stage for future agreements with the China Centre for Comparative Politics and Economics and the China Foreign Affairs University (Beijing, PRC);

The TOChina team is composed of the following staff:
