POLIS 2099 - China Rising

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2015

Given the size of its economy (the second largest in the world), population (the largest in the world), history and culture (the oldest uninterrupted civilization in the world), China and its foreign policy deserve more than passing attention. As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and the third largest nuclear power with the world's largest standing army, China's diplomatic and military posture affects security architecture not only of the Asia-Pacific, but also of the entire world. The intention of this course is to invite you to join the international debate on China's rise in global politics and its increasingly more critical impact on global and regional traditional and non-traditional security. Structured thematically, the course explores the evolution of Chinese foreign policy, China's bilateral relations with its neighbours and major powers, China's soft and hard power, Chinese national interests, Beijing's policy on key global issues (arms controls, environment, terrorism), its role in global economy and the debate on China's `threat' and `peaceful rise'. By looking at the above issues, the course critically examines China's claim to be a responsible stakeholder in regional and global politics and economy.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
