21st Century Beijing
Travel to Beijing to understand China’s phenomenal rise in the world economy and international arena. The nation is no longer a “hidden dragon” but is amply living up to the notion that the twenty-first century is “China’s century.” The program will look at China's rise to the status of a globalized world power and the effect of this rise on the Chinese. In particular, the phenomenon of the 2008 Olympics will serve as a case study for examining China's presentation of itself to the outside world and the world's reaction. The program includes lectures, readings, discussions, and fieldtrips.
