Course/Module description:
The course tracks economic reforms in the PRC since 1978 and exposes students to the creation of China’s “socialist market economy”. By observing the emergence of markets alongside state institutions, students are exposed to the various conundrums surrounding China’s development trajectory, such as: authoritarian governance over a capitalist market; the blurriness of public vs. private divide; the role of the state vs. the role of markets.
Course/Module aims:
The course is designed to help students develop an informed perspective on the economic
policies and institutional changes that have shaped China’s domestic economic emergence. Students are encouraged to study China's development experience in order to think critically about the process of transition and economic and social development more generally.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:
* be familiar with the PRC's major economic reforms and identify their different stages.
