The course is designed to shed light on the main security issues in the region of Asia Pacific. 20 years ago, Aaron Friedberg suspected that Europe’s violent past will be Asia’s future. The lecturer of this course believes that in order to predict potential conflicts and security issues in the region, simple power analogies without cultural basis are not sufficient. This course will thus go in different direction that Friedberg’s study; it will investigate Asian security in its historical, cultural and social context. |

Students can get altogether 100 points. This is divided into a research paper/research presentation (30) and final written test (70). For the presentation, students will choose their own topic (can discuss it with the lecturer but does not necessarily have to). The presentation will be accompanied by a 7-10 pages research (seminar) paper. The paper must possess 1) a sound research question (and, if needed, a hypothesis), 2) a theoretical evaluation and/or a literature review of existing scholarly literature, 3) rigorous empirical evaluation based in relevant academic sources. The paper is supposed to be a group work of groups of 3-4 people. Both the paper and a powerpoint presentations must be sent to the lecturer by a 30th April 2021. The test will be in the form of several (7) open questions regarding the in-class lectures as well as the required literature. Students are expected to participate in class discussions. |
