Learning outcomes
|
The course focuses on the relations between China and the European Union and its member states. This relationship can be regarded as the world's second most important one overall - right after the one of the US-China. Moreover, economically speaking, the EU-China relations might even overtake the US-China in its importance due to its high level of trade, investments, technology, and people to people exchanges. The course will consist of two main parts - in the first, students will acquire overall information and understanding of the EU-China historical, political, economic, and other relations. In the second part, students will discuss individual case studies of EU member states.
