Course Objectives: | By the end of this course, students should be able to analyse the rising China and its effectiveness in regional and global order in terms of economic, military and nuclear power while they also know current global problems and debates. |
Course Content: | This course provides undergraduates with a broad introduction to China’s political, economic, and strategic development during the modern era. The discussion begins with the lowest point in Chinese history when the country was rendered as a socialist country and ends with China’s contemporary rise and implications for the world. The questions asked include: In what ways is China rising? How did it happen? How does China’s rise impact the U.S and the global system? |
