二十世紀是中國走向世界、走向現代化的世紀，也是中國歷史上繼往開來的一個重要時代。在這一百年中，中國的社會制度發生了翻天覆地的變化，它的財政制度及其政策也同樣發生了重大的變革，有許多問題值得深入研究。本課程即以這一百年的歷史發展為線索，分別對晚清政府、北洋政府、國民政府以及新中國成立五十年來的財政政策及其演變為研究對象，深入探討各個政權中央政府制定財政政策的背景與內容，認真分析各個時期財政改革所取得的成就及其所出現的失誤。從這一歷史的回顧中，我們既可以全面了解二十世紀中國財政改革的演變軌跡，或許也可對二十一世紀中國財政經濟的發展規律有一清醒的認識。

本課程適合於歷史系本科生及碩士班學生以及其他院系的同學選讀，修讀本課程的同學除了要具備一些簡單的財政學知識外，更重要的是應對二十世紀中國歷史發展與演變有一基本的了解。

Attention is drawn to University policy and regulations on honesty in academic work, and to the disciplinary guidelines and procedures applicable to breaches of such policy and regulations. Details may be found at here.

With each assignment, students will be required to submit a signed declaration that they are aware of these policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures.

• In the case of group projects, all members of the group should be asked to sign the declaration, each of whom is responsible and liable to disciplinary actions, irrespective of whether he/she has signed the declaration and whether he/she has contributed, directly or indirectly, to the problematic
• For assignments in the form of a computer-generated document that is principally text-based and submitted via VeriGuide, the statement, in the form of a receipt, will be issued by the system upon students’ uploading of the soft copy of the assignment. 
• Students are fully aware that their work may be investigated by AI content detection software to determine originality.
• Students are fully aware of the AI approach(es) adopted in the course. In the case where some AI tools are allowed, students have made proper acknowledgment and citations as instructed by the course teacher.

Assignments without the properly signed declaration will not be graded by teachers.

Only the final version of the assignment should be submitted via VeriGuide.

The submission of a piece of work, or a part of a piece of work, for more than one purpose (e.g. to satisfy the requirements in two different courses) without declaration to this effect shall be regarded as having committed undeclared multiple submissions. It is common and acceptable to reuse a turn of phrase or a sentence or two from one’s own work; but wholesale reuse is problematic. In any case, agreement from the course teacher(s) concerned should be obtained prior to the submission of the piece of work.
