Description

This course explores the politics and governments found in the three most important countries in East Asia--China, Japan and South Korea—as well as their shared history and contemporary challenges. Key themes include the three countries’ colonial experiences, economic development, the role of political parties, nationalism, each country’s security concerns, and cultural exchange among them. While each country is examined in turn, this course also investigates the extent to which these East Asian countries have come together and emerged as a world region.
