Description
China's recent rise to global prominence has had uneven impacts on Chinese citizens, the Chinese economy, the Chinese state, and the world outside of China. In this course, we seek to understand China's rise by asking certain questions. What do various approaches to the study of International Relations (IR) and International Political Economy (IPE) tell us about China's rise in contemporary world politics and in the contemporary Global Political Economy? What are the economic sources and vulnerabilities of China's newfound global prominence? Is China a challenger to an American-led world order? Ineligible students: students may not receive credit for POL-3122 if they have taken the same topic under the POL-3121 course number
