Obiettivi formativi
The laboratory aims to provide students with essential notions about the historical trajectory of China as a global actor from the first Opium War until the present day, and combine it with analysis of current events. With a solid grasp of China's recent foreign relations history, and with the context and perspective provided through the in-class discussions, students will develop a more nuanced understanding of the global role that China is currently playing, and the role it is poised to play in the future.
