【Course Objectives】

In today's rapidly evolving global landscape, a plethora of critical issues demands our attention. These include the intricate dynamics surrounding the North Korean peninsula, escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and the significant geopolitical shifts resulting from China's rise to a global power. These complex phenomena are often perceived as being intensified by the fragility of the post-World War II international order, thereby heightening geopolitical risks within the East Asian region. A thorough comprehension of these contemporary challenges necessitates a deep and reflective engagement with historical processes.

【Course Contents】

This course endeavors to provide a comprehensive exploration of East Asian history, spanning from the mid-19th century to the pivotal year of 1945. It will place a particular emphasis on pivotal developments such as the formation of nation-states, the impact of colonial dominion, and the occurrence of multiple conflicts within East Asia after the dissolution of the pre-modern tributary systems. To facilitate a nuanced understanding of these historical phenomena, our approach will integrate diverse disciplinary perspectives, encompassing economic, social, cultural, and intellectual history. This multidisciplinary lens will enable an in-depth analysis of key historical events and the intricate contexts that fostered them.

Participants in this course will engage in an analytical exploration of the various conflicts and interactions among East Asian nations in the modern era. A primary objective will be to acquire a comprehensive understanding of each nation’s unique historical trajectory, current geopolitical challenges, and the broader regional implications thereof.
