The course aims to apply theoretical and analytical concepts to understand how the political and economic determinants, such as the structures of state-market relations, socio-economic contexts, and transitional forces affect related economics' policy options and development. The learning objectives of this course are (1) to gain theoretical knowledge and contextual effects of interests, institutions, strategic integration, and ideas; (2) to familiarize with conceptual and empirical knowledge of the local process of economies and political dynamics; (3) to understand the economic development and political impacts of East Asia and other countries in a comparative perspective and within a regional/global context. We will attempt to use the interests, institutions, strategic interaction and ideas, combined with analytical levels of analysis (individual, domestic, systemic) to understand the “causes” of policy decisions, choices, and their outcomes.
