- Course Catalog Description:
- How has Chinese history, in the forms of Confucian, republican, nationalist, and communist legacies, informed and shaped political issues in China today? This course seeks to provide an introductory survey of Chinese politics, starting with the Republican revolution in the early 20th century, and ending with critical challenges in the current era. Throughout the semester, we will be juxtaposing historical lessons with contemporary reflections on different themes, ranging from revolution, state power, socioeconomic reform and development, civil society, and foreign relations. We will be examining a diverse set of perspectives from political leaders, scholars, and everyday citizens, through a combination of academic analyses, nonfiction reporting, primary sources, and other mediums. The goal for this course is to not only familiarize students with important issues facing Chinese political leaders and citizens at both the domestic and international level today, but to also provide students with a historicized and grounded approach towards the study of Chinese politics and society.
