Reconnaissance Research announced that it will collaborate with prominent French scholar Nadège Rolland to produce an analysis of China’s global influence for Kuwaiti and regional media outlets.

Ms. Rolland is a Senior Fellow for Political and Security Affairs at the National Bureau for Asian Research (NBR). Her research focuses mainly on China’s domestic, foreign and defense policy.

She has served for two decades as an analyst and Senior Advisor to the French Ministry of Defense, for which she has been awarded the Medal of Honor.

“Nadège Rolland is a highly respected authority on Chinese affairs, a bona fide expert on China’s Vision for a New World Order, China’s authoritarian influence, as well as China’s evolving military engagement,” said Abdulaziz Al-Anjeri, Founder and CEO of Reconnaissance Research. “She has authored many books and publications on the impact of China’s dynamics around the world. Her article will build on the series of analytical articles on China that we started with Dr. Charles Burton. Nadège’s insights will help us understand and define how the Chinese government works, as China is a force to be reckoned with and we have to gain as much knowledge about it as possible. We believe in the importance of transferring knowledge forward and look forward to producing informative content for our readers.”

In a statement, Nadège Rolland said: “I look forward to a productive collaboration with Reconnaissance Research. I hope that our analysis will provide readers in the GCC and around the world with a better understanding of how China’s rise affects global dynamics.”

Ms. Rolland holds a MA in China Studies from the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations and a MSc in Strategic Studies from the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies. She is also a National Taiwan Normal University alumna.
