Intended learning outcomes:
Term 2 investigates the dynamic processes that sustain and challenge these structures.
It addresses China’s rise and transformation in areas of politics, economy, urbanisations and the environment are constructed and operationalised both within China and in its external engagements. It then addresses issues related to the law, cyberspace and capital within the international realms.
As in Term 1, the first five weeks examine a process’s impact on domestic politics, followed by five weeks of examining the international arena, exploring how these processes reinforce or complicate China's domestic and global posture.
This term, therefore, provides insights into the dynamics that underpin Chinese politics both domestically and internationally.
