What is China?

China ranks among the most frequently studied countries across academic disciplines, appearing in courses on international business, economics, history, political science, cultural studies, and foreign language education. Its scale, rapid development, and global influence make it a compelling subject for analysis from multiple angles. Students are drawn to questions about how China's economy grew into one of the world's most powerful, how its government shapes domestic and foreign policy, and how its distinct cultural identity interacts with global forces. The country's role in trade, manufacturing, and currency policy gives it particular weight in business and economics coursework, while its literary and cultural traditions attract attention in humanities programs.

The papers archived on this topic reflect a genuinely broad range of approaches. Economic and business analyses examine China as an emerging manufacturing superpower, explore foreign market entry strategies, and investigate specific cases such as joint ventures in the automotive industry. Cultural and cross-cultural papers compare Chinese values and practices with those of other nations, address the relationship between language and culture, and consider how cultural syncretism has shaped China over time. Historical approaches trace Chinese economic development across dynasties and eras. Literary analysis appears as well, with classical works like Du Fu's poetry examined for their social and political commentary. Policy-focused papers tackle issues such as currency strategy and the internationalization of the renminbi.

A strong essay on China benefits from a clearly bounded thesis — choosing one dimension, such as trade policy, cultural adaptation, or historical development, rather than attempting to cover the country broadly. Evidence drawn from specific industries, government decisions, or primary texts carries more weight than generalizations. The most common pitfall is treating China as a monolithic entity; acknowledging internal regional, economic, and cultural variation produces more credible and nuanced arguments.

Direct Democracy and Liberty in Contemporary Politics

Is direct democracy desirable and/or possible today? The question is addressed first theoretically, with reference to Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws, which actually categorizes direct democracy as one of the corruptions into which a democratic system can descend, by an insistence on too much egalitarianism. Direct democracy is considered as an ideal, which is desirable insofar as it offers a critique of contemporary politics, but whose possibility is limited by whether or not it can be feasibly implemented. Two contemporary case studies are brought in to examine the question further: the experiment with internet-organized direct democracy in Estonia, and the experiment with social-media-inspired direct democracy in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Paper then offers an answer to a second essay question about conceptions of freedom in contemporary liberal democracy.

Keynesian vs. Classical Models of Unemployment and Growth

Neoclassical economists are naturally more reluctant than Keynesians to concede that capitalism as a system might be dysfunctional or that markets might be irrational and inefficient, leading to cycles of boom and bust, mass poverty and unemployment, which happened in the 1930s and is happening again today. They regard the main causes of unemployment as a mismatch between the skills and education possessed by the workforce and those demanded by employers, or frictions between vacancies and job seekers, especially with disadvantaged groups, the long-term unemployed and those lacking the information or contacts to find employment. Employers also tend to distrust the motivation and productivity of the long-term unemployed. John Maynard Keynes was certainly the most important economist of the 20th Century, and his policies were particularly influential during the years 1945-73 in most Western countries.

Customer Satisfaction as a Nonfinancial Performance Measure

Challenges to manufacturers as well as many other business structures are significant and often carry a great deal of weight in decision making and future business success. Performance measures are also often focused singularly on financial performance, ROA, ROE i.e. how much revenue the organization has received over time, how much of a certain product was sold and even how much money the organization has saved with regard to improved processes. These financial performance measures are often the core of review with regard to performance and yet there is significant evidence that non-financial performance measures are also an important aspect of doing business, especially in increasingly competitive markets. The manufacturing sector is a sector of business that relies on large sales to small numbers of customers. This being said the goal of manufacturing, if it has any staying power whatsoever must include the development of a clearer understanding of the impact of non-financial performance measures as a way to retain and even gain customers. This particular research is in the area of nonfinancial performance measurement, but specifically customer satisfaction. Though there are other types of nonfinancial performance measures this work will focus on customer satisfaction in manufacturing.
