Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This is a contemporary history (from late 20th century to current period) course on East Asia surveyed through the lens of multidisciplinary area studies. It highlights some selected important themes in political-economic developments that may potentially lead to better understanding of contemporary East Asian regionalism and affairs. These political-economic themes can be found in the case studies on East Asian regionalism, energy use, soft power, technological developments (including military-industrial complex). The course materials are also divided into three major regions of focus: Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and US Pacific presence. This course does not pretend to be comprehensive but provides class participants with the essential knowledge to analyse and understand contemporary East Asian political-economic affairs and development.
