In the 1950s and 1960s, migration became an important area of research for anthropologists, and they contributed significantly to its interdisciplinary dimension. Anthropological theories of the movement of people across and within borders are studied in the context of capitalism and globalization. These global phenomena are seen as the leading cause of the surge of 'new' waves of migration. China's active inclusion in the world economy, driven by economic success, the giant Chinese diaspora abroad, and the increasing flow of outgoing migrants demonstrate that China plays an important role and is an integral part of global migration processes. Since the late 1970s, PRC policy has actively encouraged the Chinese to go abroad, and for decades China has been the world's largest source of transnational migrants. Hence, in the context of capitalism and globalization, this course will introduce students to the main trends and directions of the 'new' Chinese economic migration (after the 1970s).
