Chinese Society and Politics
SOCI170002.01Chinese Culture and Business Practices
Pan Tianshu
Professor, Department of Sociology, Fudan University
Zhu Jianfeng
Assistant Professor, Departmentof Sociology, Fudan University
With a focus on the cultural dynamics of the Chinese Marketplace, this course addresses a
range of topical issues from the implications of globalization for everyday life in the context of
unprecedented transformations, the rise of entrepreneurship and consumerism in
contemporary China, and the relevance of values and morals for business practices. The key
goal of this course is to provide a set of conceptual tools and a new perspective that will
hopefully help students better describe and understand the local social world around you. In
learning this new perspective, students will develop a critical, even “skeptical” view toward
superficial explanations of take-for-granted practices by replacing common sense
understandings of interpersonal interactions with an uncommon sense about the links
between individual experiences, structural forces and particular marketplaces.
The course instructor will use a variety of pedagogical techniques to students learn course
materials, including lecture, video, and ethnographic analysis. Students are expected to work
together as a learning community to explore issues of general interests. Well-documented case
studies and business ethnographies will be woven into in-class discussions of these major
themes as a way of grounding theory in marketing practices. Course reading is arranged in
weekly units around specific thematic issues. Discussions of the case study materials will be
accompanied by presentations of the instructor’s research on a range of topics related to the
application of anthropological, sociological methods of inquiry to business practices in different
field settings.

covers several topics in recent development economics literature with a focus on property
right, taxation, and corruption in low-income countries. It examines how these institutions
evolve with income. It introduces a variety of methodological approaches to address a number
of empirical questions, such as what is the value of political connection in Indonesia, does
third-party reporting reduces pollution in India, and why some countries have more
complicated government hierarchy whereas others do not. The course aims to build up
students' critical-thinking skill through reading the most recent empirical development
economics literature and participating in class discussion. Students are expected to be able to
conduct independent empirical study on their own after the course.

Chinese Business and Economy
International Trade
Xie Yiqing
Assistant Professor,
School of Economics, Fudan University
The purpose of this course is to help students understand the basics of international trade and
the effects of various international economic policies on domestic and world welfare, with an
empirical focus on China trade and foreign direct investment. The course will highlight sources
of comparative advantage, gains and losses from trade, the impact of trade on economic
growth, and effects of trade policy interventions such as tariffs, quotas, voluntary export
restraints, and export subsidies. In doing so, it will emphasize both theoretical
(mathematical/analytical) models as well as empirical studies of how well those models fit
“real world” data. Moreover, the course will frequently compare and contrast alternative
theories/conceptions of the nature of international trade and the gains or losses thereof.
Understanding the economic intuitions behind the technically demanding models as well as
thinking critically about the assumptions behind the theories and how well they fit actual
trading economies will be a major focus. I will try to strike a balance between the "extensive"
and the "intensive" margins of the course materials: the extensive margin refers to an overview
of various topics in the field of international trade, while the intensive margin means technical
training and empirical real-life cases in China on selected topics.

Global Issues of the 21st Century
Materials in Life
Alexander Solovev,
Professor, Department of Materials Science, Fudan University
Yongfeng Mei
Professor, Department of Materials Science, Fudan University
Discovery of new materials properties can lead to ultimate success in both of our better
understanding of fundamental organization of matter and utilization of novel properties,
effects and functions for specific applications. Many properties of modern materials can be
changed by varying the size and not chemical compositions of materials, from macro- to microto nanoscale. This course introduces students to an interdisciplinary nature of materials, which
are divided by size (from macro- to nano), time (past traditional, current advanced:
bioinspired, semiconductor, composites; future: nanomaterials, “intelligent”) and properties
(mechanical, magnetic, thermal, chemical, optical, acoustic, electronic). In this course students
will learn in depth: a combinatorial approach to materials’ design; how materials properties,
effects and functions can be integrated; what can we learn from biology; how future smart
materials may look like. Students will develop a designer approach and real-world problem
solving skills.
