  • Course Description
    Given the rise of East Asia in global influence, this course seeks to introduce students to East Asia and its multifarious ties with the wider world. Such ties are broadly defined, including cultural exchange, intellectual comparison, and political and economic connections. While different East Asian societies will be touched upon, it is the regional characteristics that constitute the core of the course. The lectures are designed in both chronological and topical terms. It is hoped that students will have a clearer sense of how East Asia stands in relation to other parts of the world, especially the West, after finishing the class.
