Government and Politics of China: Course Description
The course looked at how modern China views modernization, politics, civilization and the changes in each. Professor Edward Steinfeld's impressions of China's fall from its glory days and the path to recovery underscored the need for greater understanding of China's governmental system. Four questions guided students as they learned about the political system, citizen-country relations, the changing role of citizens and the authenticity of the Chinese government. These questions allowed students to develop their own informed views of China's government. 'Government of Politics of China' OpenCourseWare is a reading-intensive lecture course. The Department of Political Science offered the original course to upper level undergrads and graduates students taking a degree in Political Science.
A reading list, two quizzes, an essay assignment and an exam are included with the OpenCourseWare. To learn more about China's political scene, past and present, visit China's evolving search to modernize course page.
