Career

Since 2001, Heribert has been working at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs [7] where his research has concentrated on global governance, trade and development policy, and the evolving architecture of international finance. In 2019 and 2020, he was Director of Policy Research and Visiting Professor at the Asia Global Institute [8] at the University of Hong Kong. In addition, he had been is a member of the Warwick Commission on the Future of the Multilateral Trading System [9] and Associate Fellow at the University of Warwick. [10]

In 2013, Dieter had appointed visiting professor of International Political Economy at Zeppelin University. [11] Since 2017 he also is Associate Professor at Potsdam University. [12]

Dieter edited and published his first book with Routledge titled The Evolution of Regionalism in Asia: Economic and Security Issues. [13] [14] In that work, he discusses regional integration processes in Asia dividing into two main parts Southeast and East Asia and the continuing rise of China in the Asia. His book Die Asienkrise was published by Metropolis in 1998. [15]

He contributed an essay entitled the 'G20 and the Dilemma of Asymmetric Sovereignty: Why Multilateralism is Failing in Crisis Prevention' to the volume of 'Who Will Govern the New World: The Present and Future of the G20' published by Columbia University Press [16] in 2016. In 2005 he authored 'Die Zukunft der Globalisierung: Zwischen Krise und Neugestaltung' [17] where he analyzed incessant changes of global economy and argued that liberalization and deregulation have not been tremendously successful in many economies.

Dieter wrote his Ph.D. thesis on Australia und die APEC: Die Integration des fünften Kontinents in den asiatisch-pazifischen Wirtschaftsraum and the thesis was published in 1994. [18] More recently, in 2021, he wrote about China's rapid rise within the global economic order which is increasingly giving way to concern about an authoritarian world power in his book Chinas neuer Langer Marsch, [19] which was published in 2021 by Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung.

Dieter has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump's America First policy, with his remark cited in articles of Deutsche Welle discussing the severe implications of unilateralism on smaller nations within the international system. [20] In 2021, he commented on the Australia's withdrawal from China's Belt and Road Initiative project in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In that report he also examined Pakistan's exemption from Chinese loans and strongly criticized Beijing's opaque lending practices, and the loans to the nations that comes in the Belt and Road Initiative project and how this scandalous and opaque loans entrapped the smaller nations. Dieter argued that such loans often entrap smaller nation in unsustainable debt, describing them as scandalous and not-transparent. He farther noted that Australia's decision could be the Canary in the Coalmine for the world's increasing unwillingness to be bullied by China. [21]

Beyond his policy commentary, Dieter has contributed extensively to academic and journalistic writing. He has authored several essays published in leading international magazines. He published his first article titled 'Aspects of Australia's Foreign Liabilities: A Mortgage for Future Generations?' [22] on the Australia's longest running political science journal called The Australian Quarterly.
