Course Description:
China's rise to global power status makes the relationship between the U.S. and China one of the most vital and complex bilateral relationships in the world. China may pose significant challenges to American power and interests, but many global challenges require US-China cooperation. This course will use both a historical and a contemporary perspective to see why this is the case and to examine how the relationship may be managed going forward. Key topics will include: US-China economic relations; people-to-people relations; the Taiwan question; regional security; climate change; the Belt and Road Initiative; and what China's rise means for global human rights. The course invites students to think about US-China relations from multiple perspectives and to form educated views of this critical international relationship. |
