Course aims

This course aims to demonstrate how Indian policymakers can benefit from learning from the results of China’s 40 years of economic reforms.

Course Objectives

• To evaluate the impact of China’s economic reforms on its economy
• To analyse China’s transition to a knowledge economy
• To compare China’s economic strategy from Britain’s

Teaching methods

All summer school courses are taught through group seminars and individual tutorials. Students also conduct private study when not in class and there is a well stocked library at OUDCE to support individual research needs.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course students will be expected to:

• Understand how China’s economy has changed since its 1978 reforms
• Understand China’s transition to a knowledge economy
• Understand how China’s economic strategy differs from Britain’s

Assessment methods

Students are assessed during the summer school by either a 1500 word written assignment or a presentation supported by individual documentation. To successfully gain credit (10 CATS points) students should attend all classes and complete the on-course assignment. There is also a pre-course assignment of 1000 words set. Although this does not count towards credit, it is seen as an important way of developing a student's ideas and therefore its completion is mandatory.
