This course familiarizes students with the themes and history from late imperial (1842–1911) to republican (1912–1949) and Communist China (1949–). The course provides the major events and history makers, but not at the cost of micro history as it pays great attention to ordinary people and their lives. The course examines change, but change came in the shape of continuity, considering how a better understanding of China’s transformation from the “sick man of Asia” to economic superpower helps us better understand the making of the modern world.

The use of computers is increasingly pervasive in all areas of mathematics. This course introduces the foundational concepts of programming and some of the many computational tools in common use by mathematicians.

The course provides students with a theoretically-grounded understanding of the role of the European Union as an international actor. Using theories of international relations, European integration and Foreign Policy Analysis, it analyzse and evaluate the EU’s evolving external identity and policy capabilities across a range of external relations, including membership conditionality, trade and development, international crime and terrorism, asylum and immigration, foreign, security and defense policy, and democracy and human rights promotion. The course then examines the nature of key bilateral relationships between the EU and selected countries (US, Russia, and China) and regions (former colonies, regional groups), explaining the extent to which they have been institutionalized and the challenges that define them. It will end by assessing what sort of international actor the EU ‘is’ and ‘wants to be’ – namely civilian, normative or military – and evaluating the likelihood of the EU emerging as a global superpower in the future.
