Will China redifine great power politics? BICCS launches its spring lecture series. Eleven international top speakers will discuss China's strategic partnerships and what they mean for Europe.  Our first sessions will focuss on power transition in Asia, China’s strategic thinking, the meaning of strategic partnerships and China’s relations with the developing world.

Advanced course on China's foreign policy - What are the main players in China's diplomacy? What are the key objectives of China's foreign policy? What to expect from its relations with the United States? Is Sun Tzu still alive in China's military strategizing? All these questions will be answered in an intensive course on China's foreign policy, starting in February 2010.

Norms in China's domestic and international politics - How are Chinese citizens perceiving human rights? Will economic development lead to a normative convergence with the West? How is China influencing the rules of the game in international business? In its next Asia Papers BICCS will focus on the evolution of China's political values and how they will affect the government's plans for domestic reform, its foreign policies and its relations with the EU.
