两岸问题从三个看法来谈, Michael Connolly
Honors Theses
现在，我们都知道两岸问题。在问题的基础上：台湾是否属于中国的一部分？当然，台湾跟中国有很大的关系。今天，每些土地都称自己“中国。”差不多四百年以前，台湾成为一个中国的殖民地。很多汉族人来台湾，带了他们的文化和语言。但是，从1895年到1945年，日本领导了台湾。这个外国的领导时期改变了台湾的历史。中国的现代政府，中华人民共和国，连一天都没治理了台湾。但是，这个问题可以造成了战争。为了懂这个问题的重要性，我们得寻找历史了解中国的身份。我们会发现台湾的政治重要性，这个问题结果的未来。这个问题对亚洲和世界的政治和和平很重要。台湾的经济，政治状态使两岸问题当作新冷战的中心。在这个文章，我会分析台湾的历史、政治、经济和国际的看法。

This study will include ten developed and developing ESA countries: Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao DPR, and Philippines.

The Death Penalty In A Changing Socialist State: Reflections Of 'Modernity' From The Mao Era To Contemporary China, Elizabeth Lehmann
The Death Penalty In A Changing Socialist State: Reflections Of 'Modernity' From The Mao Era To Contemporary China, Elizabeth Lehmann
Honors Theses
In the past century, China has abandoned its feudal system, created a republic, ended the republic for a communist socialist society, closed its markets and then opened them; now, China is an established world power, has a strong economic base, and is often perceived as having an iron fist regarding domestic crime and punishment. Modern day China’s criminal law, in the context of capital punishment, has undergone many drastic transformations in the past sixty years. The death penalty has been so differently implemented in modern China that within a span of twenty years, the usage of the death penalty and …
Diagnosing The Roots Of Chinas Growth Miracle: An Examination Of Strategies That Have Most Influenced Chinas Economic Development In The Twenty-First Century, Katharine Manko

There are significantly different views regarding what strategies underlie China’s economic growth and development in the past decade. An examination of these varied opinions will indicate the complexity of determining which strategies have been most conducive to China’s economic expansion. This paper will use data from several developing and developed countries along with an analysis of a number of strategies that economists and scholars have listed as aiding the economic growth process. The analysis of the scatter pot data will then be applied to China as a case study to determine which factors and strategies have been most conducive to …
The Fragmentation Of Collective Action In Contemporary China: Micro-Regions And Occupation, Jessica Sherrod
The Fragmentation Of Collective Action In Contemporary China: Micro-Regions And Occupation, Jessica Sherrod
Honors Theses
Since the creation of labor markets in China, there has been a rapid increase in collective contentious action, such as striking and protesting, and this has attracted the attention of many scholars. Because the country contains such a myriad of diverse regions, scholars have commonly analyzed Chinese collective action through a “regional” lens. While that approach has been useful, this paper goes further by disaggregating Chinese collective action along two dimensions: by micro-region and by occupational sector. More specifically, this research disaggregates large macro-regions to show diversity at the city-level within regions. It also considers differences in collective action across …

Time To Cry Over Spilled Milk: An Investigation Into China's Food Safety System, Rachel Baker
Honors Theses
China is plagued with food safety scandals ranging from contamination of dairy, to exploding watermelons in the countryside. This thesis explores the four main reasons that China has many food safety regulatory issues: the wide dispersion of farms in China, the fragmentation of the food safety regulatory system, weakness of local implementation, and the poor structure of commerce. Using the case studies of the dairy and pork industries this thesis examines these four proposed flaws and proposed solutions for improving food safety in China. Governmental flaws and mistakes are mostly responsible for these problems, but the current structure of government …
