Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Corruption has been a pivotal issue in studies of governance and development in China and beyond. Meanwhile, anticorruption, has recently also gained an independent status and become a topic of interest for students of Chinese studies in its own right. This course will introduce and explore major issues under both topics with a multidisciplinary approach. Class Discussions will focus on factors that are universally shared in all corrupt practices as well as those local, contextual and cultural elements that cultivate corruption in certain societies. In this semester, a new syllabus will be introduced, featuring a diverse range of study materials combining both the classic and the most update research outputs. At the end of the course, students will be familiarized with the following topics: the definition of corruption, causes of corruption, corruption and doing business in China, guanxi and corruption, controlling corruption, and investigative reporting on corruption.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Class activities will consist of discussions, which can also take the form of presentations, role-play or debates. Your attendance at each class session is mandatory. Preparation before class is essential for your participation in this course. You are expected to complete the reading assignments and other research tasks given to you before you come to the class.
Depending on the size of the class, you will be assigned to lead the discussion in one or two topics. Your performance for each assigned task will be evaluated separately, which will be aggregated for your final score.
The exam consists of two components. The first is an oral exam, which involves a group exercise of case-construction and presentation with role-play. The other is a written exam in the last week of June.
The workload of this course is moderate.
The class will NOT admit new students after its 3rd session (including the introductory session).
You will not be eligible for the exam if you miss more than 3 sessions. Absence for a session that you are assigned as the leading discussant needs to be announced at least one week ahead. Each absence will lead to a reduction of your attendance score by 3 points, unless it is justified and pre-approved.
