Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Regarding the rise of China and looking at today's China, it is common sense that China's economic reform has been a success while political reform is lagging behind during the last three decades. This course is an examination of contemporary China studies, which focus on the relationship between these two reforms in China from 1978 to the present day.

After completing the course, students will:
1. know about China' s economic and political systems;
2. be able to understand the main obstacles of holding back political reform;
3. be familiar with the basic methods and the related literature to do presentations as well as future studies on this topic.
