Description
Core Course
This course contextualizes the history and present-day attributes of the China in the macro-region of Northeast Asia. This approach emphasizes the importance of conceptualizing China as more than just
as a national entity and looking beyond the traits of major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to understand what and who is Chinese. This course highlights patterns and exceptions in
relations on various levels, including state-to-state and individual-to-individual, between China and other states and societies of Northeast Asia. Students will develop their understanding of China’s
connections to its neighbours and how political, economic, and social interaction among disparate groups shapes the region of Northeast Asia.
