This course covers the strategic analysis of a foreign country -- China. It emphasizes those major factors that have interplayed to make China what it is today, and what it is becoming. Although the focus is on the predominate political and military factors at work in contemporary China, the analysis must also relate, when and where appropriate, Chinese society, politics and policy debates, diplomatic initiatives, and evolving economic strategy to China in the larger context. That is, how does the Chinese economy, culture, geography, history, and national interests, for example, determine, impact upon, or influence her political-military options. The assigned textbook readings incorporate these broader perspectives as well as reflect the variety of emerging interpretations over the future of China. It is helpful if the student assumes the role of a political-military analyst on a national-level diplomatic, intelligence, or security staff. |
