Detailed Information
This module examines contemporary relations between China and the European Union. It will be of interest to students of Business, History, Social Sciences and Modern Languages - and anyone intending to engage with China in their future career.
The EU is China's biggest trading partner, and China is the EU's second biggest trading partner. At the same time, both European and Chinese governments face domestic economic and security challenges, concerns about democratic legitimacy, and the temptations of populist nationalism. This module examines China's economic and strategic relations with the EU. It analyses the political and social implications of societal level interactions, as globalisation and migration are reshaping what it means to be Chinese and European. It also assesses the impact of Brexit upon EU-China relations. The module can be taken in conjunction with Encountering China SLL 20040 (Semester 1) on the history of European interaction with China.
