| SS372 is a seminar-style course designed to provide a framework for understanding and analyzing China?s history, economics, domestic politics, and foreign policy. To do so, cadets study the history and current structure of the Chinese regime in order to explore the sources of power and legitimacy in the People?s Republic of China. Domestic challenges and opportunities receive attention as the class critically analyzes policy choices. In the foreign policy realm, the class examines sources of continuity and change, seeking to explain current actions and predict future responses. |
