Section Information for Fall 2017
East Asia is generally considered a ‘winner’ of globalization due largely to the region’s miraculous economic success in the past decades. Not discussed as frequently are 1) the challenges each society in the region faces in political, economic, and/or cultural fronts and 2) the diverse ways in which such challenges are perceived in different countries. In this class, we tackle these two large issues by identifying what these challenges are in general and by discussing how each of the countries in the region fares on those challenges. The specific issue areas where this discussion takes place includes, but not limited to, democratic regime; welfare system; immigration; financial crisis; territorial disputes; corruption; inequality; transitional justice. While most of the countries in the region will be covered, the discussion will revolve mostly around China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
