Ph.D., Ohio State University, 1987
The department is extremely pleased to be able to welcome Dr. Schroeder back
for the 2009-10 Academic Year. His office will be Mather House 317.
Paul brings a remarkable blend of practical experience, academic training, and
wisdom into the classroom. He earned his Ph.D. from Ohio State in Chinese
Politics in 1987, writing his dissertation on regional power in the Chinese
political system. Before embarking on his Ph.D. studies, he was a journalist
covering police, city, county and state government for several Ohio newspapers.
While doing his dissertation research, Paul represented the State of Ohio
Department of Development in Wuhan, China. He then joined the staff of the
National Committee on U.S. ― China Relations in New York, managing programs in
law and economics.
From 1995-2007, Dr. Schroeder was managing director of East-West Trade
Development, Ltd., a firm that assisted American businesses with international
trade opportunities, especially with China. He also co-founded Families of the
Fallen for Change, a lobby group advocating a political solution to the Iraq
war, and as part of that has worked with senior members of Congress to develop
policy alternatives. Paul has taught a series of courses at CWRU in recent
years, including SAGES courses on China and the Environment; POSC 368 on The
Peoples Republic of China; POSC 370C, The United States and Asia; and POSC 374,
Politics of Development in the Global South. He brings to our classroom
remarkable experience in teaching, scholarship, working within China and within
the foreign policy process of the United States.
