Dr. Jeff Allender and Dr. Roger Pauly will lead this lecture and discussion on Understanding China.
Almost all the current news on China is about their rapid economic growth and ascension towards becoming a world superpower, both economically and militarily. This is often presented as if it was a complete surprise to the West or is a major threat to our existence. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining history, geography,
culture, and natural resources, we will show how China came to their current situation, and what their strengths and weaknesses are that will unfold in the future. We will also show their similarities and
differences with America’s similar ascension to power a century ago.
Presenters:
Dr. Jeff Allender
Dr. Roger Pauly
Workshop Topic:
·Understanding the disastrous history of Western / Chinese relations throughout

their relationship with the government

they will do in the future
