Uitgebreide vaknaam	China Rising: Domestic Context, International Significance (Faculty of Arts)
Leerdoelen	*knowledge of China's recent developments *insights into scholarly debates about China *critical reflection upon the representation of China in mainstream media
Omschrijving	Since the turn of the twenty-first century, China has increasingly been part of the global order. It produces more consumer goods than ever for Western markets, enjoys frequent coverage in international media, and hosts an unprecedented number of visitors from foreign countries. "What is China?" has become an important aspect of comprehending our contemporary world and its future. This course explores different ways of understanding the meanings of China's rise. The first part, "lectures and seminars", provides foundational knowledge and examines China's recent developments from historical, political, economical and social perspectives. The second part, "debates and controversies", introduces key issues that have ignited disagreements among scholars and journalists, such as "Is China a different kind of super power?" "Does China's rise inevitably lead to international conflicts?" "Does China constitute a new developmental model for other non-Western nations?"
