Politics and Business in China

Catalog description

This course offers an overview of China’s recent economic development and its political system under a comparative political context. It provides a foundation that will enable the non-specialist to make informed use of China as a case in more general arguments and give the intended China specialist a solid footing from which to pursue more in-depth study of China’s political and economic topics. The course takeaway is an understanding of how the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party work and organized, and what are the political, social, cultural, and ideological factors that stand behind its organizations.
