He subsequently completed his PhD in Politics and International Relations at the University of Auckland with a thesis on non-interventionism and classical Chinese conceptions of the\u00a0<em>jus ad bellum<\/em>. Before joining the HKMU (at the time, OUHK), Dr Lee was Postdoctoral Teaching Associate in Global China Studies and Social Sciences programmes in School of Humanities and Social Science, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He also taught at the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in New Zealand.<\/h5><h5>In research, Dr Lee worked as Senior Research Fellow in China and public international law at the University of Hong Kong (HKU)&#8217;s Faculty of Law, and Research Assistant for China in Comparative Perspective Network (CCPN) at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He held Visiting Scholar position at Institute of World Economics and Politics (IWEP), Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) in Beijing, as well as Visiting Fellow position at Centre for Comparative and Public Law (CCPL), HKU. Dr Lee was trained earlier in the Humanities. He graduated with a First Class Honours degree, majoring in English and Comparative Literature. His enduring passion for making the world a better place was much inspired and driven by an internship experience with the United Nations General Assembly at New York Headquarters.<\/h5><h5>As a continuing project, he works on basic research in common principles and laws in world politics and international legal thought. Currently, he is studying: the classical and the contemporary, virtue politics, natural law, non\/post-Western IR, critical and historical IR, comparative worldview and cosmology in civilisations, narrative building and discourse power. He is also interested in photography, aesthetics, and performing arts, in particular conceptualisation and expression in the world of dance.<\/h5><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><strong>Research Directions and Scholarly Interests:<\/strong><\/h5><h5>Ways of thinking, knowledge production, and intellectual history<\/h5><h5>Global governance, legal tradition, and international legal thought<\/h5><h5>Non\/post-Western international relations<\/h5><h5>Chinese international relations<\/h5><h5>Multidisciplinary research, non\/post-positivism, and hermeneutics<\/h5><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><strong>Courses:<\/strong><\/h5><h5>GCST 2001AEF Diplomacy and Public International Law<\/h5><h5>GCST 3002AEF International Organisations and Global Governance<\/h5><h5>GCST 4001AEF China and Global Governance<\/h5><h5>GCST 4002AEF Non\/Post-Western International Relations<\/h5><h5>GCST 4005AEF Special Topics in Global and China Studies<\/h5><h5>GEN 1015AEF Understanding World Politics through Photojournalism<\/h5><h5>\u00a0\u00a0<\/h5><h3>Academic &amp; Professional Experience<\/h3><h5>Assistant Professor, School of Arts and Social Sciences, HKMU (2017-present)<\/h5><h5>Founding Programme &amp; Stream Leader for Global and China Studies, HKMU (2018-present)<\/h5><h5>Visiting Speaker, Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA), Helsinki (2016)<\/h5><h5>Senior Research Fellow, Department of Law, Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong (2015-16)<\/h5><h5>Visiting Fellow, Centre for Comparative and Public Law (CCPL), Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong (2013, 2015)<\/h5><h5>Visiting Scholar, Division of International Politics Theory, Institute of World Economics and Politics (IWEP), Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), Beijing (2013)<\/h5><h5>Research Assistant, Researchers Fostering Laboratory, China in Comparative Perspective Network Global (formerly China in Comparative Perspective Network, CCPN), London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) (2009-10)<\/h5><h5>Intern, General Assembly Affairs Branch, Department of General Assembly and Conference Management (DGACM), United Nations Secretariat, New York (2008)<\/h5><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h3>Selected Publications<\/h3><h5><strong>Books<\/strong><\/h5><ul><li><h5>Lee, Walter (2022).
