Niv Horesh (Hebrew: ניב חורש, Chinese: 荷尼夫; born 1971) is a researcher formerly at Western Sydney University, Australia. He was also Visiting Professor in China Studies at the School of Government and International Affairs at Durham University, United Kingdom.

Horesh's research incorporates four main strands in the following order: Chinese History, World Monetary History, PRC Political Economy, and PRC Foreign Policy with emphasis on the Middle East. He has authored or co-authored 9 books, and edited or co-edited 3 books, as well as publishing many journal articles.

His most important study in the first and second strands is ''Chinese Money in Global Context: Historic Junctures Between 600 BCE and 2012'' (Stanford University Press, 2014). The book is available in Chinese translation. Subsequently, Horesh was invited to write the general entry for "Money" in ''Information: A Historical Companion'' (Princeton University Press, 2021).

The most important study in the third strand is ''East Asian Challenge to Western Neoliberalism: Critical Perspectives on the ‘China Model’'' (Routledge, 2017), co-authored with geographer Kean Fan Lim. Within this strand too, the study of influential CPC Politburo Standing Committee Member Wang Huning (with Ruike Xu) was the first of its kind to be published in English.

Besides his academic work, Horesh was also a frequent commentator on current affairs in newspapers such as the South China Morning Post and Haaretz. Provided by Wikipedia
