Research orientation

As a sinologist David Gosset writes on the Chinese world’s economic, socio-political, cultural, strategic transformation, its impact on 21st-century Asia and the global village.[3]

He studies the notion of the "Chinese Renaissance".[4] In his approach of China (中国 - ZHONG GUO) he insists on the importance of the notion of centrality 中-(ZHONG)："Zhong -- 中, or centrality -- is one of the most ancient and common Chinese characters and, in an analogy which sheds a light on China's global modus operandi, its polysemy in the Chinese historical and cultural context mirrors three important measures of centrality in the field of graph theory".[5]

What he calls the "Xi Jinping Decade"[6] is an important moment of the "Chinese Renaissance". The Chinese dream, a key element of the Xi Jinping Decade, is approached by Gosset in the following terms: "Concept and project, definition and positioning of a nation in a century of change, Xi Jinping's China Dream can be presented as a triptych, the visions of "Modern China," "Global China" and "Civilizational China."[7]

Activities

In 2001 David Gosset established the Academia Sinica Europaea[8] at CEIBS (China Europe International Business School) and, one year later, he founded the Euro-China Forum,[9] the oldest process of its kind. The 9th Euro-China Forum was organized with the UNESCO.[10]

In order to study but also support the New Silk Road, he established the New Silk Road Initiative (NSRI) in January 2015.[11]

In the framework of the New Silk Road Initiative he contributed as a curator and advisor to the major exhibition "From the Ancient to the New Silk Road" at the Presidential Palace of the Italian Republic.[12]

Honors

David Gosset was awarded the "Cross of the Civil Order" in 2005[13] by the then King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, for his work with the Academia Sinica Europaea[14][15] He also received an honorary distinction from the Republic of Bulgaria for the establishment of the Euro-China Forum.

By a presidential decree on Dec 31 2014 he was nominated Knight of the Legion of Honor (Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur).[16]
