More about this course
- What does it mean to be modern. What constitutes modern politics, modern institutions, a modern military, and modern infrastructure. In this period of great excitement and experimentation, the country is asking itself: How do you become modern and remain true to the Chinese national identity.
- This course will explore enduring issues around Chinese modernity, with a focus on the creation of the modern Chinese state during the Republican era. You'll learn about China's war against Japan, about long-term patterns in U.S.-China relations, and about the role of individual leaders against the backdrop of historical circumstance.
- Ultimately, you'll learn different ways to study and understand history. We explore this period thematically rather than chronologically, providing you with a better understanding of how political context influences the interpretation of history.
