China: Ideological Evolution in the Twentieth Century
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page discussion of the political, economic, and ideological evolution China has experienced in the last century.

China: US Foreign Policy After WTO Accession
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing how the bureaucratic politics model has influenced US foreign policy regarding China since China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). China's need for greater economic prosperity for its people and greater international acceptance likely have been the driving forces behind its willingness to make any concessions at all to US requests. Certainly all conditions in China do not fit with the US' conception of democracy and individual freedom. The bureaucratic politics model has provided a means of reaching a common ground of understanding in which each side can maintain healthy respect for the other while making beneficial concessions that do not compromise either country's national sovereignty.

Chinese Immigration
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. During the period of Chinese immigration to the United States, the historical construction of the "Oriental" began as an alien image who threatened "real" Americans.

Examining the specific political, economic, social and legal treatment the Chinese immigrants received, one might readily surmise that the coolie image contributed most to that treatment and eventual exclusion of the Chinese.
