Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to explore the role East Asia plays in the international system and how that role will develop in the coming years. At the end of the course, students will be able to handle a set of topics related to historical and contemporary patterns of state relations in East Asia, East Asian development models and economic integration, regional multilateral institutions, the impact of globalization on the region, and the political and economic interplay with the West.
Course contents
The course focuses on the role East Asia plays in the international system and how that role will develop in the coming years. Topics covered include the Chinese challenge to the liberal order, China and India's development path, China's "great rejuvenation" and the Chinese model, Asia's economic development (and its new role in the world economy), Asia trade in the new global order, the Belt and Road Initiative (and, therefore, China-Southeast Asia relations, China-Central Asia relations, China-EU relations), Energy Security in Asia and Eurasia, and China's role in the African continent (and the "confrontation" between the Washington and the Beijing consensus).
Teaching methods
The course will consist of a combination of lectures and class discussions related to the different readings. Students will be given the texts that must be read and analyzed, in order to be discussed in class.
Assessment methods
