Transitional Chinese Society

(China’s Population and Development)

Sample syllabus

Subject to Change according to Course Instructor

Instructors : SHEN Ke, [email protected]

Class Meeting Time: Mondays 18:30-21:05

Class Location: H5308

Credits: 2 credits (China’s Population and Development, 13 weeks);

3 credits (The Transitional Chinese Society, 16 weeks)

Course Description

China has been undergoing two exceedingly rapid transformations in

the past half a century: a demographic transition with dramatic decrease

in fertility and mortality, and an economic transition from a planned

economy to a market economy. The compressed demographic transition

has made China a country with a very low population growth rate and

Page 41: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

41

accelerating population aging, and unprecedented economic reform has

lifted China to the ranks of middle-income countries. These two

historical transformations are not independent of each, but have been

closely intertwined. Thus, this course not only introduces various

demographic events and socio-economic reforms, but also explores the

linkages between population change and socio-economic

transformation. We raise a series of questions: What are social and

economic implications of one-child policy? How will China’s

imbalanced sex ratio at birth influence the marriage market? Will China

lose the competitive edge in labor- intensive industry in the near future

due to low fertility rates? How can China accommodate the expanding

elderly population in the context of frequent migration of young people?

Investigations into these questions may provide students with a deeper

understanding on China’s contemporary society.

Requirements and Evaluation

Course evaluation will be based on class participation, presentation, and

a term-paper. Students are expected to read the assigned materials

before class and to participate in group discussions in class. For the

term-paper, enrolled students need to select a topic related to

demographic and economic transitions, and examine it within the

context of the student’s own country. Students will have an opportunity

to present a progress report of their term-paper, and a final paper is due

at the end of the semester. The paper should have a length of 3,000

Page 42: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

English words. This term-paper is expected to follow the style of an

academic research paper, consisting of introduction, literature review,

findings and conclusion. The course grading is comprised of: Class

attendance and discussion (20%), presentation (40%), Term paper

(40%).

Shanghai is one of the most powerful cities in China, in East Asia, and

edifices dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. At the same time, it is

distinctly Chinese and yet occupies a unique place with challenges and

issues arising from its position as the financial lead in China’s rapid

economic development.

Shanghai took shape after China was forced to open itself to the outside

world in the second half of the 19th century, amidst the clash between,

and interaction of, Oriental and Western cultures. Its history taken into

consideration, there is no doubt that Shanghai presents an excellent case

study of Western influence on Chinese cities in their modernization

process and their adaptation and creation of local cultures in the past

170 years.

To researchers, Shanghai may best display the interaction of such

elements as geography, economy, humanism and society. As the

economic center of China, Shanghai's transition from planned economy

to market economy is also worthy of further study. Many people are

also impressed with the diversity of cultures that have left their imprints

on Shanghai over the past 170 years, such as the Western colonial

culture, the revolutionary culture (Shanghai is the founding place of the

Communist Party of China), the city's own civic culture and the modern

pop culture. Together they have molded the city's culture and made it a

natural ground for metropolitan cultural study. The ability to assess

critically current and future development mechanisms from a

comparative perspective is essential in our increasingly interdependent

global world.

This course combines theory with first-hand exposure to and research

about Shanghai. The class will address seven different themes that

touch on past and especially on contemporary Shanghai from both a

local and global perspective. A highlight of the course will be a

week- long field trip in the fall term to Taipei and in the spring term to

Hong Kong or Singapore These cities rival Shanghai as major

economic and financial centers in East Asia, both with strong Chinese

cultures and histories of foreign influence. They will allow for

challenging and insightful comparisons to Shanghai.

Course Objective

The aim of the course is to provide students with Shanghai discourse

and facilitate their personal experience in the city. Students will use

their own first-hand observations, coupled with broad-based readings in

a range of social science areas, to reach their own understanding about

Shanghai and the rapid pace of China’s modernization.

Empirical experience is highly valued throughout the course. By

fieldwork as well as observation, students will see the city through their

own eyes. The reflection over first-hand empirical experience will be

included in the assignments, the end-of-term presentation and the final

paper. Students are expected to engage critically with their empirical

experiences by making comparisons between Shanghai and other cities,

by looking into the cultural or institutional background of their

observation, etc.

Course Evaluation

The assignments are based on the City as Text learning strategies,

through mapping, observing, listening and reflecting, combining

lectures, readings and fieldwork.

1) Attendance and class participation – 10%

Attendance to lectures and fieldtrips is required for all students. Please

inform TA in advance if you want to ask for a leave with an eligible

excuse.

2) Group fieldwork and end-of-term presentation – 20%

Group fieldwork: students’ groups (of three to four) follow the lecture

and group-work instructions in order to meet the fieldwork

requirements.

Group presentation: one presentation is arranged at the end of the

semester. It is supposed to last 10 minutes (8 minutes for presentation

with Powerpoint, 2 minutes for Q&A) and is meant to share the

observation and analysis of the group. First-hand empirical experience,

critical thinking, reflection and arguments are expected.

More specifically, the end-of-term presentation is meant to be based on

one specific theme among the following: religion, education, trade and

finance, urban planning and development. The presentation will also

have to be comparative in nature. (Example: If you've picked education

as your presentation theme, you ought to examine how what you have

been learning and researching with regards to education plays out in the

Page 52: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

52

context of Shanghai on the one hand, and in the context of a second city

on the other.)

As a presentation is a group effort, grades for presentations (as opposed

as grades for papers) are collective: each member of a group will have

the same grade as his or her group co-members.

3) Short papers – 30%

Students will write two four-to-five page assignments about Shanghai

on the basis of their own observation, critical thinking and reflection

during the field trips.

One of the two papers will be entitled “Shanghai Impressions”.

For their other short paper, students have to choose one theme among

those studied during the semester, namely: religion ; education; trade

and finance; urban planning and urban development.

4) Term Paper – 30%

Students will choose one of the themes covered in the course and write

a ten-page term paper that combines primary and secondary research in

order to compare and contrast some aspect of this theme in Shanghai

with the social reality in Foreign Countries, or other cities they are

familiar with.

Students from the course group who have been to Foreign Countries on

may choose one of cities as their point of comparison with Shanghai,

while the other students who have not travelled to Foreign Countries

may pick any another city that they are familiar with as their main

concern for comparison. The theme chosen for the term paper does not

Page 53: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

53

have to be the same as the one chosen by the student group for

end-of-term presentation.

5) Picture-taking – 10%

Out of the many pictures you may take during your stay in Shanghai,

please pick ten of them and explain how they illustrate what the most

impressive things in Shanghai are. Write at least fifty words of

explication below each picture. Please include the pictures in a Word

file or PDF file.

You may choose any scenes, people or aspects of city life. But you will

have to set out in writing:

1. Why you choose these pictures.

2. (If you are an foreign student) What kind of difference or common

points between Shanghai and your home city can be noticed in the

picture.

3. (If you are a Chinese student) what aspect of city life does this

picture remind you of?

4. Any pictures you provide as the assignment must be taken by

yourself. The pictures from other resources would be taken as

plagiarism ones.

A note on referencing in your paper assignments and on the “p” word:

Be careful always to indicate your sources properly in your short papers

and in the term paper. Whether you are quoting the exact words of an

author, whether there is a relevant fact or notion you wish to emphas ize,

Page 54: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

54

or whether your own thinking has been inspired by that of someone else,

always insert references in your assignments. This applies to scholarly

works (journal articles and academic books), to official reports, to

newspaper articles and to any internet-based source. You may either

choose a Harvard-style referencing with names and dates in brackets in

the text and a full reference list at the end of your paper, or footnotes

containing all the necessary information about your sources. The

important point is to be rigorous and consistent throughout.

Similarly, if you are in fact translating or adapting a source in another

language than English (say a Chinese source), make sure to indicate it.

If you fail to do this, you may run the risk of being accused of

plagiarism, which is viewed as a serious offence. Any instance of

plagiarism, however limited in scope, and whether willful or due to

sloppy reference work, will invalidate the paper and be met with a strict

sanction.

A note on printing out your paper assignments:

Unless otherwise stated, all paper assignments have to be handed in

hard copy on the due date.

In case you do not have your own printer, on the Fudan campus there

are many small printing shops that will print or photocopy anything for

five or even one jiao a page. Just bring your USB drive to one of these

shops. To print in Chinese is da3yin4 (打印). You can easily spot these

shops on the streets, they have signs saying 复印 (fu4yin4: to

After the Shanghai Exhibition Hall, students will break off into small

groups, each with an assignment to explore a specific section of

Shanghai. Students will each explore their assigned section of the city,

closely observing architectural details, patterns of traffic, and other

aspects of life.

Contemporary Shanghai is a palace of art and culture, with museums,

art galleries and other typical places for cultural activities. Besides, a

colorful night life is also one of the city’s characteristics. The small

groups are required to choose one or more trails to mega shopping

malls, bar street, etc. See below for suggestions of trails.

Instructions for observation

1. The most important thing is the details and the sentimental aspects of

the city’s landscape.

2. Pay attention to people’s activities, clothing, and expressions; try to

figure out some features of the city by watching what people are doing.

3. Pay attention to the architecture and the landscapes; reflect on the

characteristics of city life and culture on the basis of the architectural

features you observe.

4. Always use a comparative state of mind while watching shanghai,

compare it to your own city.

5. It bears repeating: Pay attention to the details. After which you

should sum up your detailed observations along thematic lines, such as

education, economy, customs, social behavior and so on.

This field activity will also serve as one possible basis for your

“Shanghai Impressions” assignment, due in Week 11.

Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center (Chinese: 上海城市

规划展览馆; Pinyin: Shànghǎi Chéngshì Guīhuà Zhǎnlǎn Guǎn)

is located on People's Square, adjacent to the municipal

government building. The Exhibition Center is a six-story

building, with two basement levels, displaying the achievements of

Shanghai's urban planning and development.

People's Square used to be the gathering plaza for political

activities in the planned-economy era. It has become the political

and cultural center in Shanghai since 1994, when it was rebuilt.

The Bund is well-known for its glorious financial-center history

and the remaining colonial-style architecture since the late 19th

century. Though the appearance of these colonial buildings has

not been greatly altered, their owners and functions have been

changed with history. Some haved turned into state-owned properties

and were rented out to financial and international businessese, while

others were rebuilt into fashion cosmopolitan places.

Yu Garden was built during the Ming Dynasty as a private garden of an

official. It was used as the headquarter of Xiaodaohui, which was the

rebell group that fought against the government of the Qing Dynasty.

Now it has become a famous tourist sight of Shanghai with a large

souvenir market nearby.

The historical blocks in Shanghai are located in the city

center, including Shikumen and old-style garden houses.

Most of them are located in Xujiahui, Changning, Luwan,

Jing’an districts, and were erected during the concession

time. Especially Shikumen 石库门 is now regarded as a remarkable

architectural heritage of Shanghai. It is a typical residence for local

people, built along narrow alleys, with a stone-framed gate and a

wooden front door.

Xintiandi is a pedestrian shopping, eating and entertainment zone of

Shanghai. It is composed of an area of reconstituted traditional

shikumen ("stone gate") houses on narrow alleys,

some adjoining houses which now serve as book

stores, cafés and restaurants, and shopping malls.

Most of the cafés and restaurants feature both indoor

and outdoor seating. Xintiandi has an active nightlife on weekdays as

well as weekends, though romantic settings are more common than

loud music and dance places. Xintiandi means "New Heaven and

Earth", and is considered one of the foremost lifestyle centers in China.

Assignment instructions for the short paper on trade and finance (four

to five pages):

The point of this short paper is to address Chinese and Shanghainese

economic development generally, through a combination of a personal

perspective and of cogent arguments to justify that perspective. There is

no precise question so student are free to select any aspect of China's

experience of economic development which you know best or find the

most illuminating.

For instance, students who have had first-hand experience of a Chinese

business environment might want to highlight some of the practices

observed, and to show what these might reveal about the Chinese

economy more generally. On the other hand, students who have not had

proper opportunities for relevant observation in that domain can focus

academic literature on political economy in the syllabus. The point is

not to replicate the contents of the readings, but to develop one’s own

perspective on Chinese development.

Work this week

Students can either choose to read relevant material and work on their

final paper or divide into small groups to do the recommended off-class

activity.

Recommended off-class Shanghai observation activity

During the process of the remaking of Shanghai, there are many

stakeholders. The municipal government intends to improve urban

accessibility and produce a new developed area to achieve the goal of

becoming the economic, trading, financial, and shopping center of the

country. Local governments want their profile to compete with other

districts. And all the investors and developers have their own economic

interests. Many transportation and public spaces (such as public greens)

were built following such interests, but most of the ordinary people may

not have the opportunity to participate in the construction process. They

are the real dwellers in the newly built-up areas and public spaces, yet

they can be resettled against their will in outer areas as a result of

infrastructure construction. What is more, the new spaces have

produced new social networks and interactions.

Avenue Lujiazui Central Green

The transportation trail: Observe the flow of population and the

environmental surroundings.

The public green trail: Observe the composition of visitors and their

activities. Compare the differences among locations, you will find that

some of the parks or public greens are converted private-owned gardens,

while some are reconstructed from old residential settlements. Now,

they are used for entertainment, social interaction and physical exercise

by ordinary people.

The creative industry trail: Observe the process of urbanization and

CBD renovation. Since the beginnings of the Reform Era, the structure

of industry has changed a lot from the heavy industry to service and

consumption industry. As a result, there are many abandoned factories

in the central area of the city. Instead of demolishing the warehouses

and factories, the local governments and developers have rebuilt them

into gathering places for creative industries such as art, design, etc.

Assignment instructions: write a 4-5 page paper on urban planning and

development:

Although you did not have the chance to participate yourselves in the

process of city planning in Shanghai, your knowledge on prior planning

efforts, as well as your own direct encounter with current large-scale

urban transformation and construction, should provide you with a

wealth of usable material for the short paper. Working on the

assignment, you should remember to draw on your own fieldwork

observations and investigations, as well as on academic readings on

theories of urban planning and social space.

Specifically, the short paper should offer a combined reflection on the

three following issues:

1) What are the criteria that define a “livable city” (or high

quality-of- life city)? In your opinion, can Shanghai be seen as a livable

city, or is it only a business-oriented city?

2) As you know, Shanghai’s city centre has undergone dramatic

changes in the past twenty years. Have you noticed any interesting new

spaces in the city? In so far as “social space” may be defined as being

convenient for citizens, as favouring social exchanges, and as

promoting communities’ welfare, have you been able to observe any

Page 76: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

76

space in Shanghai living up to this definition? If you did, share your

story in the paper.

3) Overall, after having engaged in observation research in Shanghai, is

there any personal perception, reflection or proposition that you wish to

put forward?

Hand in your written assignment (four to five pages) about “trade and

finance” if you have chosen this topic.

Hand in the Shanghai Impressions assignment.

Assignment instructions: Write a four-to-five page paper outlining your

Shanghai impressions on the basis the lectures, readings and

observations. You may perceive Shanghai as reflecting a confluence of

East and West, of nostalgia and modernity.

Your argument and reflections over the following issues will be highly

valued in the assignment:

What is happening in Shanghai? How does Shanghai manifest itself

under your gaze?

What is the institutional, cultural background of your Shanghai

impression?

Try to make a comparison, to propose an argument, or to question the

strength and weaknesses of your empirical experiences.

Psychology and Life

(Introduction to Psychology)

Sample syllabus

Subject to Change according to Course Instructor

Notice

This syllabus is intended to help you clearly understand the course goals, expectation,

testing methods and topics we will go through in this semester, so you may optimize your

learning experience and maximize your performance. Please take you time to read it

carefully before making the decision to choose this course.

Course Description

Psychology and Life is a course offered to undergraduate students who are interested in

learning more about the science of psychology and applying their learning into their daily

lives. The course embraces the vision of American Psychological Association (APA), “to

advance the creation, communication and application of psychological knowledge to

benefit society and improve people’s lives” (www.apa.org). Therefore, students are

encouraged to apply what they have learned in the classroom, in an active and critical

way, to enhance the quality of their lives as well as the lives of others around them.

The aim of the course is to provide a general introduction to major fields of psychology,

i.e. the methodology and the basis of psychological reasoning, the classical concepts and

theories as well as the latest research outcomes and new progresses made in this science

to promote the understanding and changes in individuals, families and societies. The

curriculum design of the course strives to adhere to the five learning goals proposed by

APA guidelines for the undergraduate psychology major-version 2.0 (APA, 2013) on the

foundation level (for those students who only take lower level courses, such a s this

course, to have a general understanding as well as application of psychology, but do not

Page 81: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

81

necessarily intend to complete a bachelor’s degree in psychology). The five goals are:

knowledge base in psychology, scientific inquiry and critical thinking, e thical and

social responsibility in a diverse world, communication and professional

development. The detailed descriptions of these goals relevant to this course will be

listed in the section of Learning Objectives in this syllabus.

As an introductory course, different topics will be given for each week to cover the whole

scope of psychology, including: the biological and evolutionary basis of human behaviors,

sensation and perception, consciousness, learning, memory, intelligence, human

development, motivation and emotion, stress and health psychology, personality

psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology and psychological counseling &

psychotherapy. Besides lecturing, the course uses small & big group discussion, group

work, extracurricular readings, and the participation of psychological researches to

facilitate the learning process. Extracurricular reading materials for each topic are to be

emailed to students and it is expected that students will choose at least one paper to read.

In order to get full credits of the course, students are asked to complete one individual

homework report, one group project and two participations in psychological studies

(several opportunities will be offered during the semester and students can choose which

to participate in; if students are not willing to participate for any reasons, extra homework

assignment will be offered to get the credit). The final exam is a 100- item close-book

format multiple choice test. Students who are open-minded, curious and confident in

English are warmly welcomed to embark on this journey.

Course requirements

Assignments – the basic assignments include one homework report, a mid-term paper

based on a group project and two participations of psychological experiments. The

homework can be either an essay or any other format (such as a drawing) that

summarizes students’ learning from the course, esp. how they apply the knowledge from

the classroom to their daily lives. The mid-term paper is based on a team work and the

size of the team is from 4 to 6 students. The team is asked to work out a research plan on

a topic relevant to psychology and the topic can be freely chosen by students as long as it

is within the scope of psychology.

Participations in psychological studies- Students are required to participate in two

psychological studies to get a real sense of how psychologists are doing their researches.

Students will get 5% of the total course credit for each participation. Several

opportunities will be offered during the semester and students can choose which to

participate in. If students are not willing to participate for any reasons, extra homework

will be offered to get the credit.

Exams- The final exam is a close-book format multiple choice test. This 100- item test

covers all the topics of the course. An outline of the course is provided to students at the

end of the semester, which aims to help students to prepare for the final exam.

Topics and selective issues

(1) Poverty and inequality

Like elsewhere, Chinese people care about how economic resources and

development outcomes are distributed, concerns which have been heightened by recent

developments. In the presentation, you may wish to address some of the following

questions:

Which measures of poverty are most useful to Chinese policy makers, in terms of

enabling them to design policies and allocate resources effectively?

What factors (e.g. globalization, changes in welfare systems, local government

practices) have played the greater role in shaping current trends in poverty and

inequality?

What policy approaches (e.g. conditional transfers, general redistribution) hold the

greater promise to deliver effective solutions?

Looking ahead, what are some of the most pressing challenges that local

governments are likely to confront in the future to provide affordable housing, as

well as adequate urban infrastructure to ordinary citizens?

(2) Quality of development

Quality of development takes us beyond the notion of economic growth, requiring

considerations of effective use of resources, people’s subjective well-being, the quality of

the natural environment where people live, people’s health, and the features of the

governance system, etc. In the presentation, you may wish to address some of the

following questions:

Despite of many drawbacks, what does GDP remain as a key measurement of

development?

What are the priorities for measuring China’s development outcomes (for example,

measuring subjective well-being)?

How malleable are government institutions to change in order to improve low

well-being achievements?

Page 100: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

100

How does the interaction of market, society and government affect the current

situation of quality of development? Provide evidence.

(3) Caring for the elderly

A rapid ageing of the population is affecting China as a result of restrictive birth

policy. This trend, when combined with low-level of development, under-development of

the social security system and high participation in the labor market by Chinese women,

is leading to greater care needs for seniors. Even when not affected by medical conditions,

elderly people may need assistance with respect to day-to-day activities and face risks of

social isolation. Even when specific programs are in place, most of the care burden

associated to old-age falls on families. In China, current policies are being developed in a

piecemeal manner, rather than being constructed in a sustainable manner. In the

presentation, you may wish to address some of the following questions:

What are the most important factors bearing on the well-being of Chinese elderly

people?

What are the main factors that will shape the demand for care by the elderly in the

coming future?

How will demographic and labor market trends affect the supply of family available

to care?

How can policies best support informal carers and help achieve a better balance

between private responsibility and public support in care-giving?

(4) Social cohesion

Over the past decades, many Chinese cities have achieved strong growth rates and

increased economic prosperity as a result of urbanization, laying the foundations of a

better life for attracting more migrants. While migrants may great contribution to urban

development, there are strong sentiments of disconnection between the concerns of local

governments and those of migrants (e.g. wage increase, access to quality public

education). Resource redistribution is skewed to those deemed productive and valuable

and excludes those defined as surplus. Such disconnect threatens the country’s social

Page 101: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

101

cohesion, weakening people’s sense of belonging, and opportunities for social mobility.

In the presentation, you may wish to address some of the following questions:

What are constituent elements of the notion of social cohesion? What are the main

dimensions of social cohesion in the Chinese context?

What can we learn from past experiences and existing practices? To what extend,

does China’s development be a process of distillation, concentration, segregation and

exclusion?

How can Chinese governments at different levels contribute to strengthening social

cohesion? What types of policies and programs have proved more effective in

securing the economic and social integration of migrants in cities?

Political Development in Modern China

Subject to Change

Instructor: Dr. Zhu Fang

Classroom:903 Wenke Building

Days & Hours: 3:40-6:15 PM, Mondays

Textbooks: June Teufel Dreyer, China’s Political System: Modernization and Tradition, 6th Edition,

(Pearson Education, Inc. 2008).

Tony Saich, Governance and Politics of China (Palgrave Macmillan, 2004). Supplementary Materials:

Under each week’s topics, I have provided additional readings for those of you who are interested. However, you should do fine with the essay questions of the exam, if you

just read the textbooks and attend classes regularly.

Course Objectives:

This course strives to capture the continuous drama of the Chinese struggle for national

revival through political, social and economic modernization. It deals with fundamental questions as why China eventually went communist in time of national crisis since mid 19th century; how the PRC regime tried to industrialize the economy and society through

state mobilization in 50s and 60s; how that mobilization model ran into a dead end at the end of 70s; and finally how the market oriented reforms and opening up to the outside

world in the past 35 years have transformed the socio-economics and the state-society relations in today’s China.

Students are expected to gain in-depth knowledge of: 1) the historical background of the Chinese communist revolution; 2) major events, policy changes, and structural reforms in

the political development since the founding of the PRC; and 3) some of the major concerns and debates in the Chinese politics today.

Course Requirements: The final grade will be based on two take-home exams, each counting for 45%. For each

exam, students will be given one week to write an essay, answering questions provided by the instructor. Late papers will be penalized. The exams should be typed,

proofread and approximately five pages long.

108

Class attendance is REQUIRED and will be factored into your final grades (10%). As a courtesy to the instructor and to your fellow classmates, please be on time and DO NOT

carry out personal conversations with each other in class.

Although mainly a lecture course, I strongly encourage discussions in class and will take questions, queries, criticisms during the lectures. Discussion enlivens a lecture course and is conducive to learning. I DO NOT mind being interrupted, provided that the

point being raised is more or less pertinent to the lecture topics.

Grading:

1st take home exam: 45%. 2nd take home exam: 45%.

Class Attendance and Participation: 10%

China’s Social and Economic Transformation

Subject to Change

Instructor: Shen Ke Textbook:

The Chinese Economy: Transition and Growth by Barry J. Naughton, The MIT Press,

2006. Understanding and Interpreting Chinese Economic Reform by Jinglian Wu, Texere,

2005.

Course Objectives:

China has been undergoing the exceedingly rapid economic transformation in the

past half a century, transiting from a planned economy to a market economy. The unprecedented economic reform has lifted China to the ranks of middle- income countries, while the Chinese economy also displays unrivaled complexities, such as urban-rural

divide, improving but fragmented social security system, lagged urbanization process under hukou restrictions, enlarging income inequality as well as future decline in labor

force due to population aging. This course is designed to introduce the achievements and existing complexities of

China’s economic reform, and also to explore the linkages between economic

development and socio-demographic transitions. The carefully chosen reading materials are intended to provide students with basic theories and to expand their knowledge on

China’s economic and social transitions. The course targets the enhancement of the following skills: reading critically, questioning, analyzing, drawing conclusion, and oral presentation skills. The students are expected to apply the theories and knowledge learnt

in class to analyze the economic transition of their home country.

Course Schedule:

Week 1 Introduction to Chinese economy Week 2 Agricultural collectivization and de-collectivization

Week 3 Rural industrialization Week 4 Socialist era and urban economic reform

Week 5 Fertility transitions Week 6 Fertility policy and its implications

Objective of Course

This course aims to familiarize students with a number of salient themes and issues in

contemporary Chinese society. As China’s rapid development is increasingly focusing

worldwide attention on the People’s Republic, it is crucial to be able to grasp the social,

cultural and political underpinnings of China’s unique trajectory and present-day

situation. In turn, such an understanding requires acquaintance with an array of key

notions and conceptual tools that will be methodically introduced and explicated

throughout the semester.

Course Description

The course is organized sequentially into two sectors:

The first sector with four lectures will focus on Shanghai Studies as a means to offer

a distinct localized illustration of the Chinese experience. Today, it is safe to say that

Shanghai is one of the most powerful cities in East Asia and even the world. Yet despite

its global stature, it remains deeply Chinese, occupying a unique position vis-à-vis the

issues and challenges arising from the country’s rapid pace of development. To the

researcher, Shanghai displays the interaction of geography, economy, and society. Local

culture itself remarkably varied, as it ranges from Chinese revolutionary culture to the

city’s own civic culture to modern pop culture. The lectures will address the history of

Shanghai in a national context, its renaissance as a global city as a result of state strategy

from the 1990s onward, and issues of urban planning and urban social space.

Page 118: Course Selection Guide Book - Fudan Universityice.ssdpp.fudan.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Course...COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT: This course offers one semester teaching

118

The second sector addresses Chinese culture and religion. In the first lecture,

students will have an opportunity to learn about the cultural foundations of ancestor

worship and its contemporary practices, about the meaning of guanxi (relationship) and

its application and transition in Chinese society, and about the Five Relationships, the

core of Confucian ethics. The second and third lectures will concentrate on the culture of

Shanghai, including themes such as Nostalgia and Consumerism, as well as the value

system and lifestyle of Shanghainese. The fourth lecture will provide an introduction to

the Chinese policy of religious freedom, to the historical background and contemporary

situation of Chinese folk religion, and to the phenomenon of mass conversion to

Christianity in China.

In addition, there are two other lectures on some special topics: NGO and finance in

Shanghai.

Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected]

Course Description

China, one of the fastest growing countries in the world, has great impacts on global

economy. Since 2011, China has been the world's second largest economy after the

United States. China’s economic importance has grown rapidly. In this course, we will

explore China from several different aspects, such as culture, business environment,

government policies, successful business stories, and business opportunities in China, …,

etc. The knowledge learned from this course will assist students to understand China

much more, especially in doing business in China and with Chinese companies.

The class format includes lectures, case studies, guest speakers, movie clips, and group

discussion, as well as student presentation, etc. The content covers both quantitative and

qualitative materials. We expect students’ active participation throughout the course.

Students will work in groups to investigate business in China and present their findings.

Besides normal lectures, special guest speakers or on-site tour may be arranged for

further understanding of updated business status in China.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, students should have good knowledge in doing business in

China. It should provide students great help in business operation in China and with

Chinese companies. The exercises of group projects will give students deeper

teamwork and to put what students learned into practice. Students will be formed into a

group of ~3-5 people. Each team needs to prepare a business plan to start a business in

China. It could be any types of companies, such as trading companies, branch offices,

retails, services, consultancy, E-business, or any other types of China related business.

Global Sourcing and Supply Chain

Management in China

Sample syllabus

Subject to Change according to Course Instructor

Professor Nathan Wang, Ph.D.

[email protected]

Course Description

This course introduces global sourcing and supply chain management in China, an

enormous player in the world economy. In the competitive global marketplace, great

emphasis is placed on both cost reduction and fast reaction time. Global sourcing refers

to the process of locating goods and services in the most efficient manner (particularly

with regard to cost and delivery times) wherever in the world they might be. The supply

chain refers to both the physical activities related to delivering products and services to

customers, as well as informational activities such as product design and planning.

These activities may involve the linking of different companies in this process or the

coordination of different functional areas within a single company.

Students will learn the most important theories involved in supply chain management and

global sourcing, and match that with actual case studies. The course is structured to

look at procurement and manufacturing, distribution and logistics, the information

technology that supports the process, innovations in the supply chain that fuel China’s

and global business growth, as well as the integrated administration of the entire process.

Marketing Placement in China

(The Chinese Marketplace: Globalization and Local

Transformations2)

Sample syllabus

Subject to Change according to Course Instructor

Instructor: Jianfeng Zhu

Course Objectives

This course addresses several major themes focusing on the dynamics o f China’s

unprecedented socioeconomic transformations. Topics covered will include the

implications of globalization for everyday life in the local contexts, the rise of

consumerism in contemporary China, important policies and various emerging

markets etc. One important goal of this course is to provide a set of conceptual tools and

a new perspective that will hopefully help you better describe and understand the social

world around you. In learning this new perspective, I hope that you develop a critic al,

even “skeptical” view toward superficial explanations of take- for-granted practices by

replacing your common sense understandings of interpersonal interactions with an

uncommon sense about the links between individual experiences, structural forces and

particular marketplaces.

It is my hope that we can work together as a learning community to explore issues of

general interests. Well-documented case studies and business ethnographies will be

woven into in-class discussions of these major themes as a way of grounding theory in 2 The Chinese course title is 中国文化与商业实践。
