Yuezhi Zhao explicates the dynamics of communication and power relations through transdisciplinary and globally-oriented work. She enriches understanding of Anglo-American media by revealing the politics of journalistic objectivity, and informs contemporary debates on China’s transformation with pathbreaking examination of the communicative dimension. Her holistic global-to-village transcultural political economy scholarship transcends the East/West dichotomy and integrates theoretical and applied approaches, while contributing to international collaboration, pedagogical innovation, network-building, and grassroots empowerment.

Yuezhi Zhao tente d’expliquer les dynamiques de communication et des relations de pouvoir à travers un travail transdisciplinaire et mondial. Elle enrichit la compréhension des médias anglo-américains en levant le voile sur la politique de l’objectivité journalistique et alimente les débats contemporains sur la transformation de la Chine à travers une analyse novatrice de la dimension de communication. Ses recherches holistiques en économie politique transculturelle, intégrant la notion de planète devenant village, transcendent la dichotomie Est/Ouest et intègrent des approches théoriques et pratiques, tout en contribuant à la collaboration internationale, à l’innovation pédagogique, à la création de réseaux et à l’autonomisation à la base.
