PSI 3325 - International Relations of Asia-Pacific

Credits: 4.00
This course examines in some depth past and current geopolitical and security issues in the Asia-Pacific region, with specific focus on the foreign policies and international relations of selected countries in Northeast Asia (China, Japan, Korea) and Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand). We will discuss and debate key events and shifts in regional security architecture that continue to shape the region in the 21st century, and pose questions about its future. Some questions include how China and India’s rise are shaping the region, and how ongoing disputes about territories among key members of Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other countries might affect the future stability of the region.
