Description: This course explores the transnational forces changing the lives of nearly a quarter of humanity, the 1.4 billion people of Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and the diasporic Chinese communities of the Americas, Europe, and East and Southeast Asia. In order to explore the political, economic and social processes of liberalization that have created this new era of the increased circulation of people, ideas, commodieties and technologies across national boundaries, seminar participants will use materials and methods from many scholarly disciplines and traditions: political science, history, economics, anthropology, economics, anthropology, gender and media/cultureal studies. And in order to study these increasingly mobile populations that often fall outside the boundaries of conventional studies approaches in the social sciences, students will critically examine innovative comparative case studes and survey methodologies.
