  China's large and dynamic economy has enjoyed two decades of spectacular and unexpected growth.

This course engages these issues by examining the development of China's economy since 1800, with particular emphasis on studying China's experience under different forms of economic organization: market economy, central planning, reformed system combining plan and market, and on comparing China's development with the achievements of other nations.

  This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the main issues in Chinese politics in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The first sessions of the class focus on the rise of the Chinese revolution, the tenants of Mao Zedong thought, and the main political campaigns of the Mao period. Next, the course focuses on the Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin eras and the complex problems associated with "opening" China. Some of these problems include reforming the economy incrementally while furthering economic growth; rectifying the fallout of political extremism and expanding individual choice while keeping society stable and affirming collective interests; and allowing more input into policy processes while maintaining party dominance. Students examine the succession of a new generation of leaders to power, a fourth generation, and the possibility of continuing economic and political reforms. We also make comparisons between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. Throughout the course, we explore several themes including the meaning of citizenship in a one-party-dominated state, national integration, state power and regime adaptation, social control, channels of democratization, and the political challenge of social issues.

• Social History of China: From Empire to People's Republic , University of Pennsylvania
  This lecture course-the first of a two-part sequence-examines the history of late imperial China through the early 19th century. We begin with the Song Dynasty transformation: the rise of gentry society and imperial absolutism, the institution of Confucian orthodoxy, the shift of the population and the economic center of gravity to the south, the commercialization of the economy, and change in the relative status of women and men. We then trace China\'s subsequent political and social history, including the following themes: inner vs. outer court politics; law, government, and society; intellectuals and political dissent; gender, family, and kinship practices; patterns of peasant life and rebellion; traditional foreign relations and first contacts with the West; internal sources of the decline of imperial order.
