＜概要/Course Content Summary＞

***This course will be conducted in an online format, using Microsoft Teams for all course materials, Turnitin for homework, and DUET terminal for additional communication.　　
　
This course aims to improve our understanding of relations among the nations in East Asia. The course assumes that students have completed an introductory level course in International Relations. Japan’s wealth and military spending give it the ability and potential to alter the balance of power in the East Asian region. Will it play a leadership role in helping to sustain the liberal economic order in the face of China’s economic challenge, and/or in the COVID19 pandemic crisis?　
　
The course also examines Japan’s key role in keeping regional stability and prosperity in East Asia. The focus will be centered on Japan’s relations toward key nations and organizations in East Asia. Highlighted relations among individual states in the region such as China and Koreas show development and issues arising from their past and current relations, which lead to the establishment of policy priorities.

＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞

This course aims to give better understanding and analytical skills to students on international relations in East Asia by taking the viewpoint of history, policy orientation, and existing problems. This is for the benefit of comprehending relations from multiple perspectives and considering possible future policies and relations. With four great powers, three nuclear weapon states, and two of the world’s largest economies, East Asia is one of the most dynamic and consequential regions in world politics. Critical reading and thinking skills are expected to develop at the end of the course.
