Greg Ryan has significant experience in cross-cultural relations from both academic and practical perspectives. In addition to teaching university courses in comparative politics in both the United States and China, Dr. Ryan served as a US naval intelligence officer from 2003 to 2008.

His most recent publication is 'Regional Security Complex Theory, East Asia and US Re-balancing' in Review of Global Politics , a policy journal in Taiwan. See less
