Subject Description | Bureaucracy is a Chinese invention, spread round the world since the 17th century. In this subject the historical development of the Chinese bureaucracy and Chinese merchant activity will be reviewed, and case studies on contemporary practices will be analysed. The way contemporary Chinese operate in business and within bureaucratic organisations is best examined against a long tradition of writing in China about military strategy, bureaucratic manoeuvring, and self-advancement. In this subject students will read works that form the core of this tradition, and should learn ways to interpret situations and individual action in light of this tradition. |
Assessment | Tutorial participation and written work totalling 4000 words. |
