The purpose of this course is to look into one of the most important contemporary bilateral relationships - relations between the PRC and the U.S. Within the scope of the course we will analyze key issues that influence the Beijing-Washington relationship – from strategic considerations and international roles played by both actors to economic cooperation and the issue of human rights. We will also look at some of the domestic factors that are instrumental in shaping the bilateral relationship. The dynamics of Sino-American relations will be illustrated by several case studies (Taiwan, South China Sea, etc.).
