News Brief | BNBU Faculty and Students from FBM and FHSS Publish International Casebook on China-Asia Cooperation

A new pedagogical casebook, Cases on China Partnerships in International Development, has been published by US-based academic publisher IGI Global, featuring contributions from Faculty of Business and Management (FBM) and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS).

The project is a 100% BNBU initiative co-edited by Dr. Youssef EL HAOUSSINE (FBM), Dr. Edoardo MONACO (FHSS), Dr. Selçuk COLAKOGLU (FHSS), and Dr. Michal VAVRIK (FHSS). It includes 18 academic case studies written by 18 BNBU students (11 from FHSS, 7 from FBM), each examining China’s cooperation with a different Asian country.

Designed as a student-centered academic project, the year-long collaboration (March 2025–March 2026) provided students with methodological guidance from faculty editors, resulting in each student publishing an academic case study. The volume serves as a teaching resource for comparative analysis worldwide, showcasing BNBU and CTL’s commitment to innovative, international, and transdisciplinary teaching and learning.
