Description

This course introduces students to China’s security policy and the post-Mao military modernisation program. China’s security concerns, its evolving security strategy and rapidly growing military capacity will be assessed. Particular attention will be paid to the current academic and policy debate on China’s growing military power and evolving strategic policies. The course will explore shifts in the People’s Liberation Army’s threat perceptions, strategic doctrine, force structure, civil-military relations, military technology and defence industry. China’s strategic culture and its impact on military thinking will also be assessed.
