Course outlineThe aim of this course is to introduce students to the international relations of East Asia. The course is divided in two parts. The first provides an overview to the region. An overview of East Asia during the 20th and early 21st centuries is provided: Attention is paid to state formation, regime types, democratization, and political culture. The second part covers developments in the international politics of East Asia since the end of the Cold War. Here the interplay between external and regional powers is analyzed, alongside the foreign policies of the main actors in the region. Special attention is also given to trends in Asian regionalism (politics, security, economy).

Note: EA in IR is offered jointly with ‘Korea in International Relations’ – a course supported by the Korea Foundation ‘Global E-school in Eurasia’ Project, launched at CEU in 2012. This means that classes held on Tuesdays focus on East Asia, and those on Thursdays zoom in on the Korean Peninsula with a focus on either the domestic or foreign policy of South and North Korea. The Thursday classes are connected online and in real time, via BlueJeans, to other universities members of the KF Global E-School consortium. These include ELTE (Hungary), Paris-Diderot (France), the University of Vienna (Austria), the Middle East Technical University/METU in Ankara (Turkey), the American University of Central Asia/AUCA in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), and the Tajik State University of Commerce in Dushanbe (Tajikistan) etc.

AimsThe main aims of this course are the following:

- provide an introduction to the domestic and international politics of East Asia;- provide an overview of the regional policies and bilateral relationships of the

major powers (primarily the United States);

1

- examine regional organizations and the changing nature of regional order; - discuss the main conflictual dynamics in the region (Taiwan, North Korea);- discuss post-Cold War continuities and changes.

Learning outcomesAt the end of the course students should be able to:

- be familiar with the political systems of the main East Asian countries;- explain the linkages between local, regional, and global developments and

their impact on East Asian politics;- analyze the foreign policies of the main East Asian states;- have an understanding of the factors facilitating and hindering regional

cooperation.
