Course Description

This course offers a platform for students to appreciate complexities in contemporary China’s pursuit of economic and political relations with other developing countries.Whereas official actions and expressions from China and some major countries of the Global South to demonstrate political/diplomatic solidarity more readily capture attention and imagination, each cooperates and competes with one another to maximize opportunities and manage uncertainties in the ever evolving global environments. It is therefore essential to scrutinize structural issues permeating interactions among them over a number of structural issuesand in the global context. Issues selected for detailed examination include: international institutions, Chinese foreign policy actors,development finance, access to food, public health, energy transition, and digital economy.
