Address: 1954 Huashan Road, Shanghai
Course Description
What can be more fitting to study globalization than in Shanghai, one of the most dynamic and thoroughly globalized cities in not only China but also the entire world? Our course will be based at Shanghai Jiaotong University, in its historical downtown campus. Our focus will be Shanghai: its colonial history, its leading role in China’s rapid economic development and in urbanization, its central role in financial capitalism, and its future during China’s battles with bottlenecks in sustainable development and with environmental destruction. Besides touring the city’s fascinating combination of tradition with modern, we will also see an ancient fishing village and a mid-size city in Hangzhou for contrasting perspectives.
