| Subject Overview: | This subject looks at the relationship between China and economic, social and cultural globalization from two perspectives: the movement of people, products and ideas from abroad into China and the movement of people, products and ideas from China to other parts of the world. A key focus will be the Chinese diaspora communities in Australia and elsewhere and their response to and involvement with globalization processes. The course will survey the scholarly literature on globalization and China and on the Chinese diaspora from a range of disciplinary perspectives, and will also involve a major original research project. |
