Dr Matthew Erie, Associate Professor of the University of Oxford’s Oriental Institute, has been awarded a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant of €1.5 million for his project, “Illiberal Law & Development: China and the World”. The ERC bestows the Starting Grant to promising early-career researchers with two to seven years' experience after obtaining their PhD.
