課程簡介Course Description

This course aims to educate students to seize the particular dynamics and political issues within Europe and East Asia, and also, the interregional relations and their relations with other parts of the world. While Europe has undergone significant political transformation since the second World War, its singular course of integration amidst crises and collective community building provides rich subjects for political studies. East Asia, on the other hand, displays another model of regional integration that indicates regionalism/regionalization development in different pace. From the beginning of this century, the interregional relations have witnessed a new climax and generated new economic and political dynamics. We will invite guest speakers from both academia and practice field, and organize field trips to visit delegations from Europe and East Asia in Taiwan, to give students firsthand understanding of the regional and interregional relations. By the end of the semester, the students are expected to understand the major players in Europe and East Asia and the unique governance model of the European Union (EU). Throughout the course, students are expected to participate in gathering information and discussing with class with formed arguments. And on the final weeks, each student will select a dimension for comparative study between Europe and East Asia and present it to the class. The presentation should compose of an analytical framework and should also offer a viewpoint of the chosen topic.
