Shiping Tang (born 24 January 1967) is a Chinese Molecular Biologist,[1][2] political scientist, political economist, computational social scientist, and philosopher of social sciences.[3] He is the Fudan Distinguished professor (2013–) & Dr. Seaker Chan Chair Professor (2014–) at Fudan University and also the Cheung Kong Distinguished Professor (2016–) in the Chinese Ministry of Education.[4] He is an editor of International Relations (2021–), International Security (2021–),[5][6] Small Wars and Insurgencies (2019–), Chinese Journal of International Politics (2018–) and Security Studies (2015–), and was an editor of International Studies Quarterly (2015–2020).[4]

In 1985, Tang received a BSc in Paleontology from China University of Geosciences, Wuhan. In 1988, he completed his MSc in Molecular biology at the University of Science and Technology of China. In 1995, he received his PhD in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the Wayne State University, Detroit, US.[4]

However, believing in scientific realism, Tang decided to apply his knowledge of natural sciences, especially evolution theory, to social sciences and received a Master's degree in International relations (IR) from the University of California at Berkeley in 1999.[4] He is known for his multi-disciplinary works on the Social Evolutionary Paradigm in IR.[7]
