The first part of the seminar starts with a short historical overview of Chinese foreign relations during the periods of the last Chinese dynasty, the Chinese Republic and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Apart from the institutional structure of China's foreign relations (the first foreign ministry was set up in the early 20th century!) and political history, psychological aspects - e.g. the loss of China's status as "all under heaven" and its forced integration into the international system in the mid-19th century - will also be discussed.
Based on the historical background and particular aspects of Chinese political culture, to be discussed in the first part, the main part focuses on China's contemporary bilateral relations to other great powers (US, India, Europe/ EU), former communist states, developing countries and International Organizations.
