Czes TUBILEWICZ is a senior lecturer at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Adelaide, Australia. His main research focuses on the international relations of East Asia. He has written on cross-Taiwan Strait relations, Taiwan’s relations with Europe, Taiwanese foreign aid and the United States' subnational foreign relations (paradiplomacy). He has published in Asian Survey, Australian Journal of International Affairs, Australian Journal of Political Science, China Quarterly, Diplomacy & Statecraft, Europe-Asia Studies, International Relations of the Asia Pacific, Pacific Affairs, The Pacific Review and The Russian Review. He has co-authored (with Natalie Omond) The United States' Subnational Relations with Divided China: A Constructivist Approach to Paradiplomacy (2021), authored Chinese Constructions of Sovereignty and the East China Conflict (2020) and Taiwan and Post-Communist Europe (2007), edited Critical Issues in Contemporary China (2006 & 2017) and co-edited (with Andrew Rosser) a special issue on foreign aid in the Indo-Pacific (published in The Pacific Review, 2016). He teaches courses in such areas as comparative politics, Chinese politics and foreign policy, and leadership studies.

Czes’ research interests centre primarily on international relations of East Asia, with a particular focus on China and Taiwan. His past major research projects have examined China’s and Taiwan’s relations with post-communist states, foreign aid policy of contested states and cross-Strait sovereignty constructions in the East China Sea. His most recent research monograph has deployed a Constructivist framework to explore US states and cities' paradiplomatic relations with China and Taiwan. His current research agenda concerns Sino-Australian relations.
