Course Aims

This course surveys the post‐war relationship between East Asia and the US with a particular focus on economic issues. Students will assess the nature, depth and direction of economic flows. Global supply chains and international trade connect Asia to the US while these two parts of the global economy are also more bound together financially than ever before. What is the balance of conflict and interdependence in this economic relationship? The course will also examine two other features of the US‐Asia relationship: socio‐cultural ties, such as immigration and popular culture and evolving security alliances and fractures.
