課程概述 |
This syllabus is designed for a 16hours, 5 weeks-long mini course for master students. Readings address the causes, symptoms, and consequences of democratic erosion. Over the course of the 8 sessions (two per day), master students gain theoretical, empirical, and historical context to help them understand conditions, processes and consequences of democratic regression and resilience in Asia. The course begins with an overview of approaches to theories of democracy, democratic regression and democratic resilience, and then uses this foundational work to introduce contemporary challenges to democracy in South, Southeast and East Asia in the form of processes of democratic regression and resilience. The lectures and readings for this course will span different themes relevant to different countries and regions, but a special focus is on Asia.

課程目標 |
The course will begin with material on the definition of democracy and other related concepts, and their measurements. We will then give an overview of existing theories of the causes, pre-requisites, and mechanisms of democratic regression and resilience. Finally, we will discuss different examples of democratic regression and resilience in Asia, and what these cases suggest about the future prospects for liberal democracy.
