| Department: | Political Science |
| Description: | This course is to introduce students to politics and the political economy in East Asia. Japan, China, and the East Asian Tigers, including South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, have experienced economic success and political transitions in the past decades. How do East Asian countries achieve "economic miracles"? How do the state and society drive economic growth? Why do East Asian countries establish regional economic institutions to promote free trade? How does the region's political economy influence the world? We will focus on the development strategies of the countries in the region and discuss the underlying theoretical logic that explains East Asia's growth. In particular, students will be exposed to different datasets, analyze the empirical evidence, and make cross-country comparisons. This course will cover a range of topics, including developmental state, East Asian regional integration, and the relationship between the regional supply chain and the global economy.
