This course focuses primarily on China’s evolving role in both Asia and world politics. While China may not necessarily be the sole determinant of the type of security order that will prevail in Asia, it has a profound influence on the region and potentially on the global order as well. To gain an understanding of security issues in Asia today, the seminar attempts to come to terms with the evolving nature of China’s foreign policy and national security strategies. The course then concentrates on the most influential academic work on China’s foreign relations and national security policies that has been published since the end of the Cold War.
