Advanced Seminar in PPE: Policy Task Force on US-China Relations (SNF Paideia Program Course)

Catalog description

More than forty years after the normalization of relations between the United States and China, the relationship faces new and fundamental challenges with global implications. Designed as a policy task force, this course will introduce students to the most pressing issues in U.S.-China relations –– including security, trade, climate, tech competition, and human rights –– and invite them to deliberate on and formulate recommendations for U.S. policy towards China. Each student will be required to complete a policy paper on some aspect of U.S.-China relations. At the end of the course, students will travel to China to meet in-person and exchange views with Chinese counterparts enrolled in similar courses, and to present their policy papers and recommendations to relevant interested audiences in Beijing and Shanghai.
