China continues as one of the most important areas to the United States -- even as it remains one of the least understood. In particular, the extent to which Peking should be considered a threat or as a struggling, developing nation worthy of our assistance remains a topic of intense debate. This naturally hinders any consideration of Chinese government policy, particular its security dimensions. This course will examine these issues, both in the abstract -- what China wants -- and in its tangible forms -- how has China sought to gain security for itself. Also to be considered is the impact of China's internal situation, particularly emerging economic and population challenges, as they impact upon strategic options. |

This course deals with European government and security institutions in the 21st Century. It will focus on political, security, and economic institutions and address such issues as unification, averting conflict, transition and reform, intra-alliance relationships, limiting potential threats, consolidating reform and reshaping the Continent. The transition from communist authoritarian regimes began only in the last decade, and consequently there has been little experience to evaluate in exploring favorable conditions and effective strategies. From what has happened so far, the movement to democratization and to market economies has been through bargaining and coalition making between old and new elites, rather than through violent mass movements. |
