Content:

This course focuses on China’s Belt Road Initiative (BRI) and how China is leveraging its preponderance of material power in pursuit of global leadership through the implementation of ‘development as grand strategy’ that places special focus on developing regions. China's economic position, coupled to an astute use of finances flowing from its neo-mercantilist policies, has enabled it to become the leading trading partner and a significant investor in the developing world (or Global South). Moreover, through the onset of the BRI, the Global South is increasingly figuring in China's expanding security interests and soft power provisions. Understanding how dynamics in this relationship are impacting upon a host of global and contemporary issues (BRICs, multilateralism, peacekeeping, the environment) is crucial to the shape of the 21st century.

Expected goals and achievements:

• Demonstrate understanding of why and how China initiates its international development (like the Belt Road Initiative) in pursuit of global leadership.

• Understand the benefits and challenges during China’s international development.

• Identify how China’s international development influences other countries on a number of global issues, such as environment and peacekeeping.

• Explore what roles agencies, from policy elites to local communities, may play during China’s international development and consider how they contribute to a better development.

• Analyze China’s international development with empirical cases.

Assessment:

In-class participation; quiz/coursework; final exam.
