課程概述 |
In September 2016, Taiwan’s government launched the “New Southbound Policy” initiative to enhance cooperation with eighteen countries in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Australasia with the aim of reducing its dependence on mainland China. In the context of the “New Southbound Policy,” it is important for Taiwan to enhance its understanding of the region, particularly beyond mainland China and East Asian neighbours such as Japan and Korea. The first part of the course (covering 9 classes) will focus on the international politics of the region, exploring how the Asia-Pacific has evolved in the context of the struggle against colonialism, the Cold War, the post-Cold War period, and the rise of China. The second part of the course (covering 4 classes) will be based on student presentations on the domestic politics of the countries in the region. Topics will be agreed between the instructor and the students. |

By the end of the course, students will have:
(1) A broad understanding of the Asia-Pacific region and how it related to Taiwan;
(2) An awareness and ability to discuss both the history and contemporary politics of the Asia-Pacific;

(4) Oral and written communication skills in the English language.
