For those interested in the future of regional security in the Asia-Pacific and international relations, cultivating an understanding of China and its foreign policy is imperative. This course offers you the opportunity to study China as a global power in the making. Focusing on China’s evolving engagement with the post-Cold War regional order, you will explore how China’s 'rise' as a great power over the past three decades has profoundly impacted both regional and global security. You will be provided with the analytical and theoretical tools to critically examine Chinese foreign policy, and gain insight into policy debates on whether China is fundamentally a status quo or revisionist power.
