課程簡介Course Description

This seminar will focus on the postwar political and economic experiences of the Asian region. It will examine how the economy has been developed and what predicaments have derived from the rapid growth. In the first half of the seminar, we will explore the fundamental theories and the causes and processes of industrialization in the Asia-Pacific Region. The East Asian countries, which have distinct political regimes, economic systems, and geo-political conditions, have successfully created the “East Asian Miracle” and effectively distributed the wealth and maintained the social stability. The second half of the seminar leads the discussion to the turning point in Asia’s achievement – the 1997/98 financial crisis. The financial epidemic swept the Asian economies and the regional economic order collapsed. The Asian countries had responded to the crisis differently and found their own paths to recovery. The seminar will close by exploring China’s rise, regional integration, the US role, and the emerging issues in the region.

    課程目標與學習成效Course Objectives & Learning Outcomes

    The course aims to provide doctoral-level students some fundamental conceptual tools, and to highlight major development-related or regionalism-related themes and issues, in the region. Geographically, it will include broadly such sub- regions or key countries as Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, India, the U.S., Taiwan or China. Please note that it won’t cover comprehensively each country, nor does aim to describe their respective conditions. For the purpose, the texts and related references used in this course are mostly scholarly publications that are often associated with standard social science conceptualizations. At the end of semester, students should be expected to demonstrate their comprehension and to link some of those relevant conceptualizations or perspectives to empirical cases of their chosen, (sub-)regional or country-based, in applicable or critical ways. In so doing, they are encouraged nevertheless to include other policy-oriented literature or update information in their research and presentations.
