The MIA program offers a week-long course in Singapore on China’s rising influence in Asia and its implications for the regional and global order. Prof. Chin-Hao Huang from the National University of Singapore will be teaching this course between March 31 and April 4, 2025 in Singapore at the St.Gallen Institute of Management in Asia (SGI-HSG). 

Course Objective

This course familiarizes students with an in-depth knowledge of China’s contemporary foreign policy and its implications for security and stability in Asia and the world. Students will evaluate how existing theories of international relations apply to China to gain a deeper appreciation of the factors that undergird conflict and cooperation in Chinese foreign policy. Specifically, we will engage and synthesize some of the key intellectual debates on the political, diplomatic, military, and economic issues China faces, examine how and why the leadership responds to and manages these challenges and opportunities, and the broader implications for regional stability and future order in Asia and the world.

Course Content

This course covers such topics as:

  • Nationalism and identity politics in Chinese foreign policy
  • China’s foreign economic engagement
  • China’s grand strategy and foreign policy decision-making
  • Balance of power politics in Asia
  • US-China Relations and Asia’s security
