POLS 3335 US-China Relations
This course is designed as a component in world politics courses primarily for upper-level undergraduates with a basic background in US politics, political economy, and world politics, but not necessarily any in-depth knowledge in foreign policy analysis and politics of China. It explores the historical contexts, structural determinants, and major areas of conflict and cooperation in the bilateral relations of two current hegemonic powers - the US and China. It covers both conventional foreign policy analysis, critical political economy and social theory approaches to the study of great powers’ relations. The aim of the course is to provide a foundation of US-China relations analysis and enable non-specialists to make informed use of the case from which to pursue a more in-depth study of foreign policy analysis and great powers’ rivalry in international relations.
