Course Description:
This course will survey the shifting ways major countries of Asia have engaged with the world from the colonial period to the present. Our topical focus will be on the decline and resurgence of Asian states in the international system, their alliances and relations with major external actors, their changing roles in the global economy, and finally, their motives and capabilities as emerging global powers. We will focus on China, Japan and India but will also touch on smaller Asian countries in the context of their interaction with the above major powers.
