Greg Corning serves as Professor of Political Science and Director of the Asian Studies Program at Santa Clara University, based in Vari Hall, Room 237 with contact number 408-554-4336. His institutional affiliation centers within the Department of Political Science under the broader university structure.
Professor Corning's research specializes in international political economy with concentrated expertise in Asia-Pacific trade and investment frameworks. His work examines Japan's evolving role in regional economic integration, ASEAN's institutional responses to digital trade governance, and the diffusion of regulatory standards like the GDPR across Southeast Asia. He frequently employs theoretical lenses including path dependence, techno-globalism, and regulatory convergence to analyze trade negotiation dynamics and institutional evolution in the region.
Analysis of his publication trajectory (1989-2024) reveals consistent focus on East Asian economic architecture, with recent scholarship pivoting toward digital governance challenges. His work demonstrates particular attention to how bilateral agreements (TPP, JEEPA) interact with multilateral frameworks, and how historical path dependencies shape contemporary regulatory outcomes in trade and data privacy regimes.
