Topics include the history of comparative public administration, a framework for comparison, cultural context in examining public administration systems, Beijing’s governance system, the role of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in administration of the Party-State, and good governance practices.

Perspectives on Modern China
INST 4360/MLINS 6360
Instructor: Dr. Hans Stockton

Course Description: This course presents the history of modern China from the 1860s to today. The course begins with China’s forced opening to the West after the Opium Wars and concludes with China’s transition at the start of the 21st Century. While emphasizing the chronological record of China’s development, discussion also focuses on the changing images of China at home in the West over one and a half centuries. Reliance upon text material is accented by frequent use of film to bring these images and events to life. Prerequisite: 60+ credit hours
