This seminar examines contemporary China’s evolving role in the world economy. It focuses on 10 central, highly policy-relevant questions, and investigates them through a diverse set of readings in international political economy and related fields. Example topics include international trade, investment, development finance, economic institutions, monetary policy, climate change, and technology. The course is designed for both students primarily interested in China as well as students interested more broadly in international political economy. As such, the course will at times weave together general international relations theories with evidence from and applications to China.
