COMPARATIVE ASIAN FOREIGN POLICIES

SPRING 2005

Professor Sheldon Simon

Office Hours: Coor Building, 6716, T, Th 10:40-Noon and by appointment

This proseminar examines the interface between the foreign and defense policies of the major actors in the Asia-Pacific in the post-Cold War world. National policies as well as the changing structure of the Asia-Pacific politico-military system will be assessed for such major regional actors as the United States, China, Japan, the two Koreas, and the members of The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Regional institutions—ASEAN, the ASEAN Regional Forum, and ASEAN+3—will also be examined. Proseminar requirements include written and oral presentations, a research paper based on a class foreign policy simulation, and possibly a final exam.

Because the success of a proseminar depends on everyone’s consistent participation, be advised that regular attendance is mandatory! Only two unexcused absences permitted if you are to earn an “A” grade; three for a “B”.
