BNU Master of Public Management in English
Program Name: Contemporary Development of China School of Social
Development and Public Policy
INTRODUCTION In some developing nations, poverty, stagnation,
poor governance and similar issues
have constantly made their development goals unattainable. While
the study and
research of these issues have gained prominence worldwide in the
last decades, most
attention has been given to the means of achieving economic
growth while
overlooking the means to achieve social development. However,
many social
correlates of economic development lack of a social safety net,
missing care systems
for the highly vulnerable, and inadequacies in the development
of education and
public health have plagued many developing economies today and
will further delay
the development of other late developers in the future.
The Masters Program in Contemporary Development of China aims to
locate the
processes and policy framework of social development firmly
within evidence-based
theory and practice. Conducted by the School of Social
Development and Public
Policy and supported by the International Poverty Reduction
Center in China, it seeks
to contextualize and analyze the processes that have shaped
underdevelopment in
developing countries, specifically in China, and the many
responses to them. The
program offers a grounded and multi-disciplinary approach to
issues of social
development in global, national and local contexts for students
interested in pursuing
a career in government bodies, development agencies, research
institutions, and
non-governmental organizations. At the end of the program,
students should have a
deep understanding of Chinas development processes and their
implications, and how
international thinking and perspectives on development have
impacted upon different
local sites of development. Students should have gained critical
skills in analyzing
development policy and undertaking development research.
The program adopts an interdisciplinary approach to development
studies, combining
class lectures with field visits and internships. In particular,
the program focuses on
the formation and reform of specific development policies in the
fields of social
welfare, poverty reduction, migration, gender, public health,
risk and emergency
management, sustainable development, etc. The program is taught
in English by top
Chinese and international scholars and practitioners in relevant
fields.
The program is prepared both for well-trained undergraduate
students majoring in any
subjects of social sciences and for those with professional work
experience in
development fields. 20-25 students are admitted every year.
