EAST ASIAN STUDIES (L03)  (Dept. Info)Arts & Sciences  (Policies)SP2014
L03 East Asia 3263Topics in East Asian Studies: Sino-American Relations since 19493.0 Units
Description:This course examines the history of China's foreign policy since the mid-20th century through a case study of China's most important bilateral relation-the US-China relation. The intensity of the Sino-American partnership and rivalries can be discerned in a wide range of national and international events such as the Communist revolution, the Korean War, the Indochina war and de-colonization, the Cold War, China's economic reform and the expansion of global economy, the pro-democracy movement in China and the human rights debate, the global financial crisis, and war on terrorism. It aims to study the following questions: How did China perceive and come to terms with the U.S.'s foreign policy in East Asia in the wake of WWII? What have China and the U.S. done to confront or accommodate each other in global politics during the Cold War? How did basic developments in Sino-US relations affect China's domestic political campaigns and social movements? How has China's foreign policy balanced the often competing goals of state security, economic stability, domestic political order, and international influence? What role did non-state actors (academic institutions, businesses, religious groups, NGO, and international organizations) play in shaping Sino-US relations? What are the impacts of a rising China on geopolitics in Asia-Pacific region and the U.S.'s global leadership in the 21st century? By drawing on scholarship in political and social history and area studies, this course will help students better understand the formation and transformation of Sino-American relations and its impacts on domestic, regional, and global affairs.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
