Dr. Christopher A. McNally is a political economist studying the interests, institutions, and ideas underlying formations of capitalism. At present, his research focuses on contemporary varieties of capitalism, in particular the nature and logic of China's capitalist transition. He is also working on a book project that studies the implications of China's capitalist renaissance on the global order.

Dr. McNally has held fellowships conducting fieldwork and research at the Asia Research Centre in West Australia, the Institute of Asia Pacific Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. He received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Washington in Seattle.

He has edited three volumes, including most recently an examination of China's political economy: China's Emergent Political Economy – Capitalism in the Dragon's Lair (Routledge, 2008). He has also authored over a dozen academic articles in journals such as The China Quarterly, Asian Perspective, and Comparative Social Research, as well as numerous policy analyses and editorials.
