3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

The COVID-19 epidemic has dramatically changed Asia and its place in the global order. But how exactly? This course surveys the impact of COVID-19 upon the politics, economies, societies of China, Korea, Japan, and countries of South and Southeast Asia, with emphasis on the transnational nature of the challenges they face. It provides students with analytical tools for assessing the nature of and possible solutions to such transnational problems, combined with cutting-edge country-specific insights about COVID-19 through guest lectures by faculty in the Asian Studies Program and external experts.
