| Content | Authoritarian influencing has become more noted and reported in recent years. But how does an authoritarian regime like that of China exert such influence on the ground? What is the theory behind this and what practices are pursued? Which actors (private, corporate and public) are involved? And what alliances forged? In this seminar, students acquire deep knowledge about the different channels and networks through which the Chinese Party-State wields sharp power in Europe, from a revived United Front approach to smart Twitter campaigns. The topics for the papers to be written in this seminar will be discussed on an individual basis and students will be encouraged to draw on their specific skills (languages, digital, etc.) to select an appropriate case study. The seminar will involve inputs from specialists and require interactive participation (peer reviewing, group work). |
| Bibliography | The literature will be made available on ADAM and draw on academic texts and think tank reports. |
