This course is designed to make students find a research interest in dealing with the complex situation of the 1980s in the PRC. Three main areas of development will be covered: the cultural, the political and the economic. The seminar is aimed at discussing the importance of the initial years of reform in the PRC for what we are observing in terms of an on going transformation process today.
