As two of the most-consequential global powers, China and the United States have great influence on many complex transnational challenges, including climate change, threats to food and water security, nuclear proliferation, health security, and cyberspace. Further, none of these challenges can be managed by China or the United States alone and none can be managed successfully without at least some level of US-China coordination. This unique course will be taught jointly by faculty from Stanford and Peking University and is open to students from both schools. The course will examine American and Chinese perceptions of and approaches to resolving a number of different transnational challenges with the goal of identifying obstacles to and opportunities for cooperation.
