This course will help students to understand China’s economy and its trade and investment relationships with
the rest of the world. The course will begin by exploring briefly the geographical, cultural and historical context. Then the Chinese economy will be examined in more detail, with primary focus on the transition (still incomplete) from a largely self-reliant, centrally-planned economy to more open, market-oriented institutions since the reforms that began in 1978. Finally, the current business climate in China, especially its international aspects will be discussed.

The course objectives are to:

·          Understand the implications of China’s economic reforms, and why the economic system remains a mixed one;
·          Understand China’s policy dilemmas, and the current climate for international business dealings; and
·          Further develop the capacity to analyze policy choices and predict policy outcomes, to identify business opportunities, and to evaluate strategic business decisions.
