Course Description:
China is one of the fastest-changing countries on Earth. With the rapid construction of new cities, rapidly increasing wealth among the middle and upper classes, a fragile environment/resource base, and rising geopolitical ambitions, this course aims to explore China’s changes and dispel common myths about contemporary China through the lens of human geography. We examine China’s diverse domestic landscapes—environmental, political, and cultural—its historical geography, and the challenges of rural development, land use, urbanization, territorial sovereignty, environmental issues, climate change, and more. Only through understanding the domestic can we better understand global China. The course concludes by placing China’s development within a broader Asian and global context, which we refer to as "global China" or China’s "global integration." |
