Background[edit]
David Gosset was born in Paris. He is known in China as 高大伟(pinyin : GAO DAWEI).[1] A board member of several European companies and institutions with involvement in education, management, and industry, he advises companies on international development. Fluent in French, English, and Chinese,[2] Gosset lectured at Johns Hopkins University in Washington D.C., for the French institution Ecole Nationale d’Administration (ENA).[1]
Research[edit]
As a sinologist David Gosset writes on the Chinese world's economic, socio-political, cultural, strategic transformation, its impact on 21st-century Asia and the global village.[3]
He studies the notion of the "Chinese Renaissance".[4] In his approach of China (中国 - ZHONG GUO) he insists on the importance of the notion of centrality 中-(ZHONG): "Zhong -- 中, or centrality -- is one of the most ancient and common Chinese characters and, in an analogy which sheds a light on China's global modus operandi, its polysemy in the Chinese historical and cultural context mirrors three important measures of centrality in the field of graph theory".[5]
What he calls the "Xi Jinping Decade"[6] is an important moment of the "Chinese Renaissance". The Chinese dream, a key element of the Xi Jinping Decade, is approached by Gosset in the following terms: "Concept and project, definition and positioning of a nation in a century of change, Xi Jinping's China Dream can be presented as a triptych, the visions of "Modern China," "Global China" and "Civilizational China."[7]
Honors[edit]
David Gosset was awarded the "Cross of the Civil Order" in 2005 by the King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, for his work with the Academia Sinica Europaea[8][9]
