Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course aims mainly to provide specialized knowledge regarding the Chinese economy and its increasingly significant role in the global economic system. Special reference is given to the country’s economic transition model from a centrally planned economy towards a market economy. The lectures dedicated to the country’s “open-door” economic policy refer to the establishment of the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) along the Eastern coastal regions, in order to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and technological know-how during the 1990s. Particular reference is made to the Chinese export-led growth model, accompanied by the country’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001. The course aims to highlight China’s most recent transition from an export-led to a consumption-led growth model, by enhancing domestic consumption in the rapidly urbanizing China. One of the main objectives of the course is to analyze further the context of Chinese “Soft Power” expansionism, the national economy’s transformation from a FDI-receiver to an FDI-sender in the modern era. The course also addresses issues of unbalanced development between urban and rural areas, as well as between the eastern coastal regions and the western hinterland. The last lectures are aimed at familiarizing students with basic knowledge of Mandarin Chinese language, including basic terminology of economics.
