  <course-description>&lt;p&gt;China&amp;#39;s re-emergence as a significant economic and political actor is a geopolitical development of the first order.&amp;nbsp; It has been a century since the international system has had to accommodate a wholly new major power, particularly a power that has the potential to rival even the weight of the US.&amp;nbsp; This course seeks to equip students to assess the trajectory of China&amp;#39;s current rise to prominence and its probable implications, particularly for stability in East Asia and for the wider modalities of global governance.&amp;nbsp; The course will cover China&amp;#39;s political, economic and military policies and capabilities, as well the development of China&amp;#39;s relations with other key actors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</course-description>
