In 2001, the well-known scholar of international relations, John Mearsheimer, argued that war between the US and China would be difficult to avoid. Now in 2021, US-China relations are at their lowest point in decades.
This course explores the changing relationship between the US and China. We will begin with some historical context before turning to current flash points in the Sino-American relationship, including trade, Taiwan, and the South China Sea.
Dr. Parris’ most recent course for ALL was, “Chinese Politics: State and Society.”
