课程简介 Course Introduction
This course is an undergraduate degree programme in International
Politics, it is offered to students who have already taken courses like the
“Introduction to IR” and “Theories of IP”. The course aims to introduce students
to politics and economics of the Asia-Pacific region; it does so from the
perspective of International Relations. It examines the role of US in the region,
the Japan-led economic model in East Asia, the rise of China and evolving
Asian order, and the ASEAN and multilateral institutions in Asia-Pacific. It also
looks specific issue areas, such as maritime issues in the East China Sea and
South China Sea, and non-traditional security and human security issues in
the region.
The objectives of the course are to enable students to make informed
assessments and enhance their sharp and critical thinking about today’s
regional and global issues. By the end of this course, students should
familiarise with important issues of East Asia and Asia-Pacific in the context of
globalization and global transformation, and to develop policy oriented
analytical skills.
