Course Description

This course provides an overview of the interaction between China and global climate governance. This course includes two parts. The first part of this course will serve as a broad introduction to the analytical study of global climate governance. The course will examine the major concepts and theories related to global climate governance. The second part of this course will examine the impacts of global climate governance on China and explore how China influences global climate governance. In addition to providing the conceptual frameworks for studying of global climate governance and China, this course aims to develop students’ academic skills through in-class discussion, a short paper assignment, and a research project.

Other course policies:

1. Discussion etiquette: Since our classroom includes people with various life experiences and different perspectives, please state your opinions constructively and respectfully and listen carefully when your colleagues are speaking. Please speak to me if you are offended by something that is said in class.
2. Policy for late paper: Assignments that are turned in late will be penalized ten percentage points for the first day it is late, as well an additional five percentage points for each additional day it is late. Extensions for any requirements will not be granted except in cases of documented emergencies or serious illnesses. If you have a medical excuse for missing a major grading event or deadline, you must provide me with detailed written documentation
3. Academic integrity: Cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and self-plagiarism are absolutely unacceptable. If you are unsure as to what constitutes them, please ask me. The university has a detailed code of academic integrity, which will apply to this course.
4. Syllabus changes: I reserve the right to make changes to this syllabus—whether in the schedule, readings, or other details—but will make all such changes public and will provide them to students as soon as such determination occurs.
