The seminar will focus on the history of political thought in China. Based on the theoretical approach of "political culture" (Almond/Verba) the seminar discusses ideas of Chinese philosophers, thinkers, reformers and politicians and reflects the relevance of such ideas for contemporary politics. Leading questions are a) what are "Chinese characteristics" in political thinking and b) how are Chinese people and the political leadership going to find a way between tradition, modernization, Americanization, sinification and globalization. |
