Students will write three 5-7 page analytical papers on the readings for any three weeks of their choice. Then, they must write one 15-20 page research proposal/prospectus for the end of the term.
Many readings are available online for MIT students only in the library's E-reserves. The following sources, however, are available on sites external to MIT:
Marc J. Blecher, Hegemony and Workers' Politics in China
Yongshun Cai, "The Resistance of Chinese Laid-Off Workers in the Reform Period
Kluwer Online
