Modern Chinese Politics

Catalog description

How is the Chinese political system organized? What are the rules, both formal and informal, about how policy is made in China? What determines whether a policy actually works in China? How do everyday people experience politics in China? This class introduces students to readings, arguments, and concepts that begin to explore the answers to these questions. One of the goals for the class is that students can start to recognize systematic patterns and a logic of action in how the Chinese political system operates. 001063
