Ping-Kuei Chen is a professor at the Department of Diplomacy, National Chengchi University, Taiwan. He currently serves as the Chair of International Master Program in International Studies(IMPIS). This is one of the few full-English master programs in international studies in Taiwan.  He also directs the Center for India Studies in College of International Relations, NCCU.

ing-Kuei received Ph.D. from the Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, College Park.  His research interests include conflict studies, security alliance, deterrence, and coercive bargaining. He also develops an interest in governance of fintech issues such as CBDC and stablecoin. In addition to his expertise on US-Taiwan relations, he recently pays attention to South Asia and studies India foreign policy.

Ping-Kuei's Ph.D. dissertation, "Holding Hands while Parting Ways", discusses alliance treaty renegotiation. He theorizes intra-alliance bargaining in the context of disputes among allies. The dissertation informs why internal bargaining sometimes leads to treaty revision and sometimes does not. The dissertation employs quantitative statistical models based on Alliance Treaty Obligation and Provisions project and an original data on intra-alliance disputes. The dissertation also examines Anglo-Japanese alliance (1902-1920) , Sino-Soviet alliance (1950-1969), and US-Taiwan alliance (1970s). Ping-Kuei co-authored an article with Scott Kastner and William Reed on Issue and Studies. The article argues that the US arms sales to Taiwan serve as a costly signal that constrains China's aggression in the Taiwan Strait. The extended version of this paper is included in Taiwan and China edited by Lowell Dittmer.

Ping-Kuei has published articles on alliance politics in East Asia, Sino-India border dispute, financial regulatory sandbox, and China's Belt and Road Initiative.
