In this subject students are introduced to China. The lectures are tied together by several common themes, including Chinas incredible geographic, ethnic and cultural diversity, its dual exceptionalist and wounded nationalism, and the Deng Xiaoping-era social bargain between the Communist Party and the Chinese people based on improving living standards in exchange for acquiescence to one-party rule.

Popular Culture and the CCP Social Bargain
Monday, 2 September, 2013
Young people have been at the vanguard of every significant social movement in China for over a century, yet the youth archetype has changed significantly over this period. This lecture explores what it means to be a young person in China today, examining the relationship of Chinese youth with the one-party state and the Communist Party’s grand legitimacy bargain, along with their interactions with the market economy and the world outside of China.
