LAW 382 - Negotiating a Joint Venture in China.

Through a simulation-oriented course, students will be exposed to recent economic history of the People’s Republic of China, foreign direct investment law of China, and negotiating norms of US and Chinese investors. These various knowledge sets will be brought together as each participant takes on the role of either a Chinese investor or a US investor, negotiating the terms of a China-based joint venture and ultimately reporting back to their respective board of directors. In addition to the negotiation exercises, the course requires a brief, quality-driven paper on a contemporary topic relating to China as an economic actor on the world stage. One hour. Gounaris (Credit may count towards required experiential credits.)
