The Politics of Asia/Pacific

Graduate

This seminar explores modern and global issues affecting the Asia/Pacific community. The course explores three important analytic frameworks: global/regional, “glocal” and local. The global/regional focus explores institutional governance, security and economic issues before and after the Cold War. The “glocal” focus develops the competing flows that complicate the global/regional framework. The local focus explores how global connections emerge within local events.
