This is a high-level executive program that shall show Australian decision makers in public service, media and business how policy functions in China. Despite considerable public interest in China, there is still little knowledge about how policy and decisions are made.

How does the Communist Party shape matters? What are the other voices? If there is a contest of ideas, who wins, and how?

The training program seeks to build greater Australian capacity to analyse China by answering these questions. It is a unique collaboration between the ANU and American and Hong Kong academics. Each class will be unique, with in-depth tutorials and participant led discussions about how Chinese policies are constructed and implemented, with guest speakers to outline further practical points. Participants will have access not only to former senior US policy maker and world-leading academic David Lampton, but also to custom datasets and to an array of experienced and high level practitioners. The scope of the course includes the economy, finance and business, social policies and defence. Course participants will also have the opportunity to participate in a high-level roundtable with the Central Party School of the CPC.

Over a seven-day intensive period across two months, participants will firstly learn how Chinese policies are made, who makes them, and how disputes over them are resolved. They will apply this understanding to a supervised research project (3000 words) around their own area of interest, under the personal mentorship and guidance of their course lecturers, each an expert in their field.

To be selected for this program you’ll need to be a high-performing, highly motivated public servant or public actor with ambitions to leadership in your field. You will need to be prepared to frame your particular interest in Chinese policy, in conjunction with your employer, with the aim of completing a research project that relates to that interest. You will need to commit to immersing yourself by building your background in preparation for the course. Participation in the program may qualify you to participate in a follow up in-country program on the ground in China.

By the end of the program, participants should have the knowledge and the tools to understand not only how policies in China are made, but also will have developed their own framework of Chinese policymaking which they can apply in their own relevant area of work, be that in the public or private sector.

The course runs 22 - 25 October & 26 - 28 November 2019.

Participants are supported to think about the course content in relation to their area of professional interest, producing a tailored 3000 word research project, to be submitted in early December.

China is, by some measures, the world’s largest economy, achieved on the back of a staggering period of continuous rapid economic growth.

This growth is mediated, regulated, overseen and guided by a wide array of policy makers, institutions, rules, and bodies, all of whom must continue to reform and guide China’s economy and help China interact with the region and the world. This course will pull back the curtain to reveal what and who is behind this complex economic, social and political system.
