Course Description
This is a comparative study of the American political Culture and the Chinese political culture. The study of political culture is highly subjective, often biased. The seemingly objective survey research in political culture study is short of in depth analysis. Although a completely objective study of any political culture is difficult, a certain amount of distance is probably preferable–“one does not see what the mountain looks like because he/she is in the mountain.” Therefore, this comparative study looks at the political cultures of the United States and China from three perspectives: Alex de Tocqueville is French; Max Weber is German, and the instructor is a Chinese American. Instead of providing answers to those issues raised, this course intends to provoke more discussions for the students.
