Politics in China: A Primer (POL 167)
As the Olympics head to Beijing this summer, all eyes will be focused on China, leading many to ask some probing questions about this new emerging power: How does China's Communist party preside over the world’s third-largest economy? And is China still "Communist" given that its economy now embraces free-market forces? How does China’s political system work? What are the prospects for democracy in China? Or, are other outcomes—state collapse, military takeover, or a new revolution—likely possibilities? This course sketches China’s political system, traces its evolution since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949, and assesses possible pathways of political change ahead.
