COURSE SYLLABUS

JPM911 THE RISE OF ASIA: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Lecturer: Dr. Janusz Salamon, Ph.D.  (janusz.salamon at univ-oxford.com)

Guest Lecturers: Assoc. Prof. Vladimir Benáček, Prof. Graham Parkes

ETCS: 6 credits
Prerequisites: None

TIME and PLACE: Wednesday, 14.00-15.20 - classroom J4020 (Jinonice campus)

Office hours: Tuesday: 11.45-12.30; Wednesday: 15.30-16.15 (Jinonice, office 3101)

 

1. Course objectives

The aim of the course is to introduce students to selected socio-political, cultural and economic dimensions of the phenomenon referred to commonly as the "rise of China". It is hoped that the interdisciplinarity of the approach will result in deeper understanding of both the causes, the nature, the dynamics and possible implications of the current transformation of China.

2. Student learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course, students should:

· Be familiar with the historical and cultural context of the current transformation of China

· Understand and analyse the basic concepts and ideas of the Chinese socio-political traditions which inform the official "socialism with Chinese characteristics" framework of the Chinese policy making

· Be able to relate the political, cultural and economic aspects of the rise of China and analyse the political and economic implications of the rise of China for the globalising world.

3. Teaching methodology

The classes will contain elements of a lecture and a seminar, hence students will always be expected to be familiar with the class readings for a given session and be involved in class discussions on the controversial aspects of the course material.
