• Asia in the World Economy , Harvard University MPA/ID Program
  Focuses on comparative business-government relations in Asia to engage in current policy debates. Begins by examining alternative interpretations of the Asian economic miracle, the relative importance of business-government relations, and current crises that threaten to reshape the political economy of Asia. Next, analyzes national models of business-government relations in Japan, the four NIEs (Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore), the ASEAN-4 (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines), China, and India. Moves cross-nationally to analyze the regionalization and globalization of input (capital and labor) and output (goods and services) markets as well as related policy issues ranging from regional competition for foreign investment to prospects for broader and deeper cooperation in regional integration, to the near absence of such cooperation in regional security policies. Concludes with a reexamination of our understanding of the Asian economic miracle. Throughout, academic readings, case studies, and policy briefs are supplemented by a highly interactive Web site to gain access to the most current data and analysis.

• Asia's Development Challenges , McCleery, Robert
  The purpose of this class is to examine the rapid growth in many Asian economies over the past twenty to thirty years, the recent financial difficulties facing many of the region\'s economies, and their growth prospects and challenges as of today. As we examine various explanations of both the rapid growth and current crisis, we will explore a number of competing hypotheses. Were Asia\'s recent problems a result of the earlier rapid growth? Do they represent a \"bump in the road\" or an indication that past development strategies are now ineffective? Are Asia\'s problems due to internal strains and inconsistencies or external forces? Does the solution lie in more government intervention or freer markets? How are solutions to Asia\'s challenges conditioned on economic structure, political structure, culture, geography, and other factors? Are there changes that should be made now to head off future problems? To address these key questions, we will look both at the best theories and prediction of Western economists and also writings from the region itself, in English. The course will touch on development, demography, political economy, trade and exchange rate determination, finance, macroeconomics, and money and banking. Both principles of economics and international economics are prerequisites for this class.

• Global Economic Effects of the Asian Currency Devaluations , Liu, Li-gang; Robinson, Sherman; Wang, Zhi; Noland, Marcus
  The Asian financial crisis has precipitated significant changes in real exchange rates in the region that will substantially alter the volume and pattern of international trade. The crisis countries will increase their exports and, especially, reduce their imports. Japan, China, and the other non-crisis countries will experience more complex changes. The trade balances of the United States and Western Europe will deteriorate by about $40-50 billion as a result of the currency movements in Asia. This study, newly updated in August 1999, quantifies the impact of the currency changes on the individual countries in Asia, on the United States, on Europe and on other regions on a sector-by-sector basis. It analyzes the additional impact that might occur if China, thus far a relative bystander in the crisis, were to devalue its currency as well. It then examines potential trade policy responses to these developments including the risk of an upsurge in protectionist pressure in the United States.

• Industrial Policy in an Era of Globalization: Lessons from Asia , Noland, Marcus; Pack, Howard
  Globalization reigns supreme as a description of recent economic transformation—and it carries many meanings. In the policy realm, the orthodox terms of engagement have been enshrined in the \"Washington consensus.\" But disappointing results in Latin America and transitional economies—plus the Asian financial crisis—have shaken the faith in Washington and elsewhere. One response has been to hark back to the more statist policies that the consensus marginalized. In this regard, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are promoted as the poster nations that have derived great benefits from increasing integration with the international economy, without surrendering national autonomy in the economic or cultural spheres, effectively beating the West at its own game. The fundamental questions addressed in this monograph are whether industrial policy was indeed a major source of growth in these three economies, and if so, can it be replicated under current institutional arrangements, and if so, is it worth replicating, or, would developing countries today be better off embracing the suitably refined orthodoxy?

  Professor of International Economics, Stanford University, Stanford California focused more on East Asia and the great currency crisis of 1997-98 affecting Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand on the one hand, and the foreign exchange origins of Japan's liquidity trap and more prolonged economic slump on the other. Together with Kenichi Ohno, McKinnon wrote Dollar and Yen: Resolving Economic Conflict between the United States and Japan (1997) and is currently working on a forthcoming volume, The East Asian Exchange Rate Dilemma and the World Dollar Standard. Establishing long-term dollar parities for exchange rates as a "nominal anchor" against fears of currency depreciation and inflation in the smaller East Asian debtor economies, and against fears of yen appreciation and ongoing deflation in Japan, the region's main creditor, are potentially of great mutual advantage.

• Politics and Markets in the Wake of Asian Crisis , Robinson, Richard; Beeson, Mark; Jayasuriya, Kanishka; Kim, Hyuk-Rae eds.
  The fallout from the crisis in Asia has been immense. Asia\'s position as the global economy's growth engine is now no longer tenable. As the political and economic regimes that defined 'Asian capitalism' struggle to survive, it is by no means clear whether free markets, transparent and accountable systems of governance and more vigorous civil societies will follow. The contributors to this book argue vigorously that processes of globalization are driven by complex political forces and that it is not enough to look at economic factors in isolation. Chapters focus on the different political and market forces being forged in the wake of the crisis: from the highly ordered responses of China and Singapore to the chaos and disintegration in Indonesia; the money politics of Thailand to the developmentalist juggernauts of Korea. They put the crisis in its global context, reassessing its impact on the configurations of power and interest shaping global markets and analysing the role of the IMF, the World Bank and the governments and financial institutions of the major Western Economies.

• Prospects for a US-Taiwan Free trade Agreement , Lardy, Nicholas R.; Daniel Rosen, H.
  Taiwan has a special status for the United States, as both a leading high-technology economic partner and a place of political and security concern. The authors look at both the quantitative and qualitative evidence on the potential effects of a US-Taiwan free trade agreement (FTA), both for maximizing US economic benefits and for securing a prosperous and secure future for Taiwan. Their analysis indicates that the direct economic benefits of a prospective FTA would be modest and that the FTA could be most valuable to the United States if it leads Taiwan toward greater regional integration.

• The Asian Financial Crisis: Causes, Cures, and Systemic Implications , Golstein, Morris
  The turmoil that rocked Asian markets after the middle of 1997 and that spread far afield was the third major currency crisis of the 1990s. Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and South Korea suffered outright recessions in 1998. In an effort to contain the crisis, almost $120 billion was pledged in IMF-led official rescue packages. How could this happen to a group of countries that has been so highly regarded in the 1990\'s by private international capital markets? How could the crisis be overcome, and what changes are necessary to prevent it from happening again? Morris Goldstein provides the answers to these questions by first explaining how the Asian financial crisis arose and spread. He traces the crisis through its three interrelated origins: financial sector weaknesses; external sector problems; and the contagion that spread from Thailand to other countries. Goldstein then outlines what needed to be done in the ASEAN-4 economies, in Japan and China, and in the design of IMF-led official rescue packages to end the crisis. Goldstein\'s final remarks offer specific proposals for improving the international financial architecture.

• Ethics: Asian Perspectives , University of Texas at Austin
  This course is an introduction to the varieties of moral values and beliefs that have guided behavior and thought in traditional and contemporary East and South Asian societies. The course will focus on a comparison of ethics and morality, as they are experienced and expressed in cultural context, both among Asian societies and between particular Asian societies and the West. We will explore issues such as terrorism, organ transplantation, abortion, ecology, euthanasia, and how war and killing are understood and justified on the basis of ethical concepts.

Central to the course is a concern with how culture influences the formation of values and how these values influence ideas about human rights in Asian societies.

This seminar explores the multiple impacts that colonialisms and cultures have had on each other, particularly focusing on visual and literary expressions of gender, race and nation. The course is organized around a number of critical readings and films that introduce different aspects of the issue through several of the recent critical perspectives. Much water has gone under the bridge since the seminal and provocative writings of Edward Said and his thoughts on culture and colonial project. We examine how situated colonialisms within Asia present a rich and varied picture. We explore the interface of colonialism, race and sexuality; how empire has been visualized through photographs and film, and how writing back against colonialism has been a major weapon in the hands of the colonialized.

• Culture and Urban Form in Asia , University of Hawaii at Manoa
  Why are Asian cities such confused mixtures of modern high-rises, dilapidated traditional buildings and opulent ornate new edifices? The course is designed for students who are curious about the Asian city landscapes, and discusses how to read and interpret Asian cities. To better understand the origin and development of the Asian urban form, local culture and traditions, state and society, and modern western concepts are reviewed as the key factors determining the present Asian architecture and urban form. The approach is interdisciplinary, combining social sciences and art history. The course explores the ecological and political basis of urban form. The traditional Asian architecture and indigenous urban landscape provide the historical foundation for contemporary Asian cities. Embracing modernization, Asian cities have incorporated imported western design concepts which dominate current urban development. The mixture and juxtaposition of modernism and traditionalism as expressed in urban form are examined in selected major Asian cities, demonstrating the evolutionary path of Asian cities. Course topics include climate and built environment, civil society and national state, architectural traditions (China, Japan, Southeast Asia), religious compounds (Confucian, Buddhist, Shinto, Islamic), geomancy (Fengshui), garden landscaping (China, Japan), contemporary urban design principles, industrialized and globalized cityscapes, conservation and preservation, morphology of Asian urban space (Beijing, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore), evolution of Asian urban form.

• Debating Asian Values , University of Pennsylvania
  Accompanying the flood of Japanese cars, Chinese textiles and Korean steel to American shores in the 1980's were heated debates over the vitality of Asian culture. Asia had become the only non-Western region of the world to match the economic success of Europe and North America, it was proposed, because of such supposedly distinctive "Asian values" as thrift, hard work and family. After the economic crisis of 1997, on the other hand, the New York Times condemned the notion of "Asian values" as "bunk." This was neither the first nor last swing of the pendulum in the "Asian values" debate. Speculation about supposed "Asian" strengths and weaknesses has animated accounts of the region since Marco Polo in the 13th century. This freshmen seminar will explore changing Western images of East Asia from the 19th century to the present. What have Western observers identified as particularly "Asian" virtues and vices? How have those definitions changed over time? What does the current debate over globalization say about the future of "Asian values?" We will study the problem of cross-cultural analysis and consider changing images of Asia as an integral component of national development in the West.

• Diversity and Dynamism in Media Communication and Cultures of Asia , The Australian National University
  Bruce Lee, Bollywood, Sushi, Dragon Boat races and Gamelan performances are currently firmly part of the global exchange of cultural commodities. The speed and dynamism of new forms of media have supported the regional and global interchange of ideas and trends. However, the impact of Asian popular and elite cultures on the global scene today is matched by trajectories of cultural exchange that stretch back centuries. In addition, the diverse cultures of the Asian region present unique formulations of family and kinship structures, gender norms and social stratification. These aspects of Asian cultures are also changing in the face of globalization and advanced mechanisms of communication. This course introduces students to newly emerging trends in cultural exchange and fresh insights into historical patterns of the flow of ideas, practices and cultural commodities. Drawing on ANU¡¯s expertise in the cultures of the diverse Asian region, students will have the opportunity to explore key concepts and core issues in media, communication and cultures of Asia.

• Ethnic Nationalism in Asia , University of Hawaii at Manoa
  Note: In order to access the course description, select the course from the list. This course will examine contemporary theories of ethnic and cultural nationalism from the perspective of Asia; it will consider the relevance of this growing body of theory for understanding social and political processes in the old and new states of Asia. Considering the Eurocentric nature of most theories of ethnic nationalism and nation-state formation, this course will ask: Are these theories useful for the Asian context? Do they help or hinder understanding of recent and current ethnic nationalisms in Asia? How does the colonial and post-colonial context radically alter the nature of ethnicity and nationalism? Are there different styles of nationalism in Asia and Europe? Is nationalism in Asia always a "derivative discourse" as Partha Chatterjee suggests? What is the role of religion, ritual, and representation in constructing nationalist ideologies in Asia? While identity construction entails many facets, such as gender, class consciousness, personality formation, and socialization, the thesis of this course is that the rise of ethnic nationalism in the modern world represents an increasingly relevant response to issues of nation-state incorporation, oppositional power hierarchies, and questions of modernity and identity in contemporary society. While case studies presented in the course will reflect the instructor's own expertise in East and Central Asia, students will be required to conduct substantial social and library research on an ethnic or national identity issue of their own choosing as a major written paper and class presentation. Issues addressed will include the primordialist-circumstantialist debate, "imagining of tradition", invention of tradition, "religious" nationalism, colonialist and post-colonialist discourse, as well as economic, Marxist, modernist, political dialectical, dialogical, and oppositional theories of ethnicity.

• Gender Issues in Asian Society , University of Hawaii at Manoa
  This course presents an interdisciplinary look at how female and male identities are constructed in contemporary Asia and how these affect gender relations. We look at how this is affected by and interfaces with other aspects of identity and difference -- e.g. class, ethnicity, religion, and race -- to reveal the many complexities and contradictions in women's lives. Students will gain an understanding of current global transformations and their consequences for women's economic, social and political roles, sexuality and reproductive practices, and ideological and religious orientations. We probe a number of issues: how are male and female roles defined? do women really have "nimble" fingers required for detailed work? can they "speak for themselves" or are they "spoken for"? how does religion incorporate the status of women and men in Asia? and how has "development" -- a process that has come to encompass the entire Third World -- affected women and gender roles?

• History in Asia - Context and Concepts , The Australian National University
  History can be fascinating and is certainly relevant to contemporary society, as Simon Schama has eloquently demonstrated for English history.   This is equally true for Asian societies.  However, in this case the historian usually has to work harder in order to establish a context, and to deal with sources which may be inaccessible and may give rise to methodological problems not addressed by conventional, Europe-centric theories of history writing.  On the other hand, there is more scope for doing new and important work, and for making meaningful contributions both to Asian and to global history and historiography.In strategic terms, it is important for Australians to understand the historical legacy of this diverse region and the way in which historical developments are still being worked out in the present. Australiaitself has a short history not characterized by major ethnic or cultural diversity so that it requires some effort of the imagination to deal with societies with very long and diverse histories. On the other hand, making this effort can be exciting and rewarding. The ANU has Australia¡¯s largest concentration of historians working on Asiaand this course will draw on their work to illustrate the methodological challenges encountered, the results achieved, and the prospects for the future of this field.

• Introduction to Traditional Asia , University of British Columbia
  The objective of ASIA 100 is to introduce students to the histories and cultures of South, Southeast and East Asia. Some consideration will be given to West and Central Asia when appropriate. ASIA 100 will provide students with a foundation in the key elements of Asian histories and cultures before the transformations of the modern period. Thus, consideration will be given to the nature and definition of Asian culture realms, the major Asia religions, concepts of the state and the functioning of society. ASIA 100 will seek to provide a comparative dimension to the study of Asia. In part this will be done by linking Asian cultures through cultural transmission and economic exchange. At the same time, parallel developments in Asian civilizations will be studied in a comparative context. This comparative analysis will provide students with a basis for further studies of the distinctive developments in individual Asian civilizations. Texts: Rhoads Murphey, A History of Asia.

  This class serves as an introduction to the major religious traditions of East Asia. During the course of the semester, we encounter the native Confucian and Daoist (Taoist) and popular traditions of China, and the Shinto, folk and new religions of Japan. Buddhism, which originated in India but later spread to East Asia, is examined in its relation to the history of Chinese and Japanese religions. We approach the traditions of East Asia through reading some of their classic texts, supplemented by lectures, discussion, secondary readings, and films, which inform us about cultural and historical context, beliefs, practices, and personal experience. Our aim is to learn something about the ways in which non-western religious traditions see themselves and their world on their own terms and to see how/if they can complement our own world views.

In this course, we will learn their applications and limitations, and examine how they can be used to enhance research in the field.

• Comparative Political Economy of Asia and Europe: Models of Development and Capitalist Integration , Claremont McKenna College
  The goal of this course is to teach students to think broadly and critically about the challenges of economic development on a cross regional basis. Students will engage in a systematic comparison of models of capitalist development in Asia and Post-communist Europe. The course will begin with an analysis of East Asia's path to economic growth, and gauge the role of the state in capitalist development. Japan and South Korea are examined in detail in order to understand both the engines of growth and sources of decline in the region. Next we turn to China, a case of persistent economic growth and development in Asia. Here we study the introduction of capitalist elements (such as market allocation of resources and private property rights) into a Communist planned economy. We also pay close attention to China's successful integration into the world economy and reliance on export driven industrialization.

• Democracy, Governance and Economic Performance: East and Southeast Asia , March, Ian; Blondel, Jean; Inoguchi, Takashi
  Democratization occurred, or was consolidated, in a number of these states in the early 1990s, but irrespective of the level of democratization, economic performance has been a primary source of political legitimacy in all states in this study. Yet the levels of development vary markedly. The Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore have progressively turned to technological innovation as the primary engine of development, while the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia have focused on incorporation in regional/global production systems. In evaluating democratic development, the study focuses particularly on the condition of parties and party systems. In relation to economic governance, the idea of a developmental state provides a template against which the practices of individual states are evaluated. The political and policy-making institutions within these states must now negotiate responses to the financial crisis of the late 1990s. Ultimate outcomes will be determined, on one hand, by the capacity of political systems to sustain popular support and, on the other, by the capacity of institutions to rework dysfunctional economic arrangements.

• Engaging Asia: Working with Government , Cody, Mary Kilcline
  The ambitious Asia Programs of the Australian National University were initiated fifty years ago to support the Australian Government's postwar national re-orientation toward Asia. The application of knowledge about Asia to Government's engagement with the region is more important today than ever before, with Asian economies and Asian confidence still recovering from the 1997-8 crisis. This course involves (a) a brief overview of the development of Australian Government policy toward the Asian region; and (b) an introduction to the practical work of a number of Government departments and organisations in implementing that policy. The course will be of particular interest to students intending to pursue a career in Government and will draw upon the expertise and experience of a range of senior members, and former senior members, of Government departments in Canberra.

• International Relations of the United States and Asia , University of Pennsylvania
  This course is one of the first arising out of scholarship on cold war international history. It draws on declassified government documents and other archival records to provide a window into the world-view of decision-makers who need to make national security policy based on incomplete information about ambiguous threats. The materials reveal a great deal about the importance of divergent historical perspectives and strategic cultures in the foreign policy-making process. The main focus of the course is on the intersection of the cold war and the rise of Asian nationalism. At the core of the analysis is the clash between America's global strategy of military containment against the Soviet Union and the assertion of Indian, and Chinese nationalism, concerned with preventing the United States from succeeding to Great Britain's imperial role. The course examines new patterns of US-India and US-China relations in the post-cold war period. This is primarily a lecture course, but the course web-site is a critical element of class work.

• Strange Bedfellows: Samuel Hungtington and the Advocates of Asian Values , Devan, Janadas
  The forces of globalization- science, technology, markets, communication - are demolishing borders and integrating cultures to an astonishing degree. Why, then, is there a process of re-ethnicization and greater priority given to cultural identity in much of the world? Those who once spoke of modernizing their cultures now speak of Sinifying modernity and Hinduizing it or Islamizing it. In East Asia, some politicians have discovered "Asian Values," a systme of beliefs and practices which they insist require distinctly different political and social organizations from those which prevail in the West. and in the West, Samuel Hungtington, and American and thus beneficiary of the most developed "globalized" economy in the world has theorized that a "Clash of Civilization" is inevitable, and that the US should formulate its foreign and economic policy accordingly. This talk will address this question: given the real economic, technological and financial influences of globalization, why is there now an insistance on cultural differences, differences so insistent that they may well result in clushes?

• The New Rich in Asia: Mobile Phones, McDonalds and Middle-class Revolution , Robinson, Richard; Goodman, David S.G., eds.
  In recent years dramatic changes in Asia's social and economic systems have seen the burgeoning of a substantial middle class. This has captured imagination in the West, in large part because the new middle class represents massive new markets for Western-style products. But what are the other implications of the emergence of Asia's 'new rich'? Will they bring with them the institutions of liberalism, democracy, rule of law and new institutional freedoms? These are the questions addressed by the New Rich in Asia series. This volume introduces a series which will be the first to examine political and social development by analysing the phenomenon of the new rich in East and Southeast Asia. The contributors are acknowledged experts on the social and political systems they dissect. Each study is based upon detailed field research and combines both theoretical and empirical material.

  In this issue of the "NBR Analysis," Dr. Michael D. Swaine, senior associate and codirector of the China Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, with assistance from Loren H. Runyon, senior intern at NBR, outlines the ballistic missile capabilities and development programs of various Asian states. He examines the role of ballistic missiles in each state's force structure, strategy, and doctrine, and considers the reactions of each to proposals for U.S. national missile defense and possible regional theater missile defense systems. Dr. Swaine concludes that these developments have significant implications for the Asian security environment and for U.S. political and military interests over the course of the next decade.

The Committee seeks to bring attention to security issues in Asia and to examine their impact in both regional and global contexts. It does so through symposia, academic papers, and community outreach programs. The Committee looks at traditional and non-traditional security issues. Traditional issues include military affairs, weapons of mass destruction, and proliferation. Non-traditional issues range from diasporas to human rights to self-determination. The Committee is comprised of The East Asian Studies Center, Central Eurasian Studies Department, and The India Studies Program. We extend special thanks to the following offices at Indiana University-Bloomington for their critical support of this project: The Office of the Vice President for Research, The College of Arts and Sciences, and The Office of International Programs.
