課程概述 |
First, the course introduces the scalar perspective to understand China. The transition process of China certainly has involved many different social agents at various geographical scales- international, national, local and individuals. Those agents can be at least identified as transnational investors, international organizations, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and governments at the central level, CCP and governments at the sub-national level (including provincial and below), domestic enterprises at central and local scales, and grassroots and social activists and so on. The course will not only discuss the operations, mechanisms and effectiveness of each agent but also examine the interaction between different agents behind the transition.
Another point is that the course very focuses on the environment-related issues for two reasons. First, due to its huge size in geography and in population, China’s transformation involves great complexity. Therefore, discussion over the mechanisms and operations behind one dimension of transition may hardly be applied to those behind other dimensions of transition. It means that to be more focused should be highly encouraged. Second, in the face of severe global environmental challenges, China now is the biggest country in the world in both CO2 emission (environmental protection) and green energy (or nature management). Taken together, it is eagerly demanded to understand deeper about how why and under what circumstances did post-Mao China’s double-edged sword environmental development happen through whom with what consequences?

課程目標 |
This master-level seminar-format course aims to offer comprehensive understanding about the China's transition since 1978. China's dramatic economic achievement over the past decades from Mao's communist centrally planned system to the post-socialist market-like platform undoubtedly deserves our academic attention. Two particular points shape the design of the course.
After taking this course, students are expected to learn twofold: (1) in the theoretical part, how to use the scalar perspective to analyze transformation of any economies like China, (2) in the empirical part, how to discuss China's transition from viewpoints of different agents behind the environmental change.

課程要求 |
Students need to take any one of China’s 31 provincial-level administration as their focus province for the rest of the week. Each province is assigned to ONLY ONE student. All students, regardless chairpersonship or not, are required to submit pieces of news reports (in English) in relation to the topic of the week and your focused province. If you have any problems in finding news about your weekly exercise, please call the TA for help immediately. This part takes 10%. You got to submit more than 10 times in order to start to be evaluated for this 10%.
Students need to take turn to be a chairperson of each week in order lead the discussion in the class. Those who are NOT the chair need to write up an A4 page about your reflection on readings of the week in the course pack. Those who are THE CHAIR need to lead the discussion on each paper of the week (and you do NOT need to write up the reflection). We will have three papers each week, roughly each paper for an hour. Your weekly reflections take 20% in total. Again, you will very likely get nothing if you submit your reflections less than 10 weeks.
As expected to attend seminar, students are expected to talk and discuss loudly and voluntarily. Your active participation in the class will take 20% of the score.
The other 25% is your grant proposal project for a mock grant proposal on China’s environmental- related issues. You, as an environmental expert, are hired to write up a grant proposal on behalf of your focused provincial governments to either (1) the World Bank or related international organizations; or (2) world’s top 500 companies; or (3) the OXFAM or Read Cross or similar international NGOs in order to deal with the most important environment-related issue. Topics of your research need to be consulted with me before you start to write up the proposal. This exercise is more than to evaluate your empirical understanding of China- who need what and when from which foreign resources. This exercise will need to be submitted on the end of May (05/26).
The final 25% is your final-term research proposal. Different from the above one, this research proposal exercise will ask you to think of what are the theoretical gaps in the existing literature which you think are important and interesting. Your proposal will be marked at A++ if you reach the following criteria: theoretically innovative, methodologically operational, informatively contented, and logically written. This exercise need to be handed in by the end of June (06/30).
All exercises and reports and proposals need to upload in the CEIBA.
The score will be marked at grade instead of number.
