Kommentar
Numerous contemporary observers believe that the Sino-U.S. relationship constitutes the — or at least one of the most important — relationships of our time. But to what extent is that really so, and what does it mean? This course provides a historical review of Sino-U.S. relations since the 19th century all the way up to the present. We will concentrate upon a series of sociopolitical, military, and cultural key events such as the Opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion, the Korean and the Vietnam wars, détente during the era of Mao and Nixon, Sino-American migration and mutual perceptions. We will also discuss major contentious debates in the field of Sino-U.S. history, notably in the area of diplomacy and migration. The goal of this course is to help students acquire and develop critical knowledge, queries, along with the ability to understand and assess the nature of Sino-U.S. relations today by way of historical analysis. Reading material includes Dong Wang, The United States and China: A History from the Eighteenth Century to the Present, 2nd Edition (2021)." Schließen
