The purpose of this course is to provoke your thinking about East Asia as a regional subsystem in the international system. Some of the questions that run through this course include: Are there distinctive patterns in East Asiaís international relations? What are the trends in levels of conflict and cooperation in the region? How should we define and measure conflict, cooperation, integration, interdependence etc., in the East Asian context? How are regional patterns of interaction affected by historical legacies, changes in balances of power (global and local), political development, economic development, cultural change, and regional institutionalization? Should we expect levels of economic and political integration in East Asia similar to those we apparently find in Western Europe?
As will become readily apparent, the literature on the international relations of East Asia, as opposed to the foreign policies of East Asian countries, is relatively underdeveloped. There is a growing amount of empirical work on regional or multilateral patterns of conflictual and cooperative interaction, but only a portion of this is informed by any theoretical development on the basis of the East Asian experience. So we will be, in some senses, wading into a disparate and uneven literature on elements of the regional system. For each topic there is a set of readings on some of the relevant theoretical issues -- readings, however, which draw mostly from Euro-centric IR literature. One of our jobs is to decide how useful this theoretical literature is for the analysis of East Asia and, in turn, whether the analysis of East Asia adds anything to the theoretical literature.
Grading: You have a choice of grading plans. This allows you to play to your strengths. You will be asked to choose your plan in the first couple of weeks of the semester. Section assignments will be announced well in advance. The mid-term is take-home, to be picked up October 24 and returned October 29. For those writing a paper, the paper prospectus (topic, brief description/outline and initial bibliography) is due by November 23. You will be asked to meet with me or the teaching fellow to discuss your proposed topic before the 23rd. Recommended due dates for other stages of the paper (e.g. detailed outline, literature review etc.) will be announced in class. The paper is due January 11, 2001. Excepting those who have the standard valid excuses, late papers will normally be graded down a third of a letter grade per day (e.g. A to A-, A- to B+ etc). To reiterate, the content and due dates of all assignments will be announced with plenty of warning.

9/17 Thinking Theoretically: the Dependent and Independent Variables: How does one integrate historical and descriptive knowledge of a country or region with international relations theory and social science methodology? The focus here will be on thinking about the dependent and independent variables in the study of East Asia, and about the process of generalization.

_______________________________________________________________________
9/19 Regionalism and Integration Theory: The readings for this lecture and the next one are on some of the theoretical literature on regional international relations. The key questions are: What is the 'dependent variable' in the study of East Asian IR? What constitutes a region, that is, what are the defining characteristics of a regional subsystem? On what basis can East Asia be characterized as a regional subsystem having its own international relations? Do different characteristics have different implications for levels of conflict and cooperation? What hypotheses about regional interaction, and about the relationship between global and local systems come out of this literature?

9/26 Historical Legacies I: The Uses and Effects of History: The focus in this and the following two lectures is on a number of historical legacies which may or may not affect the prospects for conflict and cooperation in East Asia in the contemporary period, e.g., great power interactions in the 20th century and the legacies of imperialism in China; the rise of Japan and World War II in the Pacific; nationalism and communism in Asia; the political conflicts generated by the Cold War in East Asia; historical patterns of economic development etc. Rather than running through a blow-by-blow chronological description of the East Asian IR history, the lectures and readings focus on what legacies might matter today. Which ones are internalized or invoked in the process of interstate interaction? How is history remembered by actors in the region?

10/10 Patterns in Military Security Affairs I: Power distributions, Rivalries and the Security Dilemma: These five lectures concentrate on post-Cold War balances of power and conflict in East Asia. This section begins with an introduction to some of the theoretical literature that may help account for conflict in the region. What kinds of interstate relationships are likely to lead to conflict? What are some of the major patterns in security relationships in East Asia that may be increasing the probability of military conflict. How stable is East Asia strategically? How should we think about stability? Is East Asia a realpolitik region?

11/7 Patterns in Economic Interaction I: Development and Trade Strategies. In this section we look at patterns of trade and investment, trends in the level of economic institutionalization in the region, the effect of economic liberalization on foreign policy, and the implications of the regional political economy for regional economic integration and political cooperation. We also look at the implications of possible 'shocks' in the regional economy ó the Asian Financial Crisis and China's entrance into the WTO ó may affect economic cooperation.

12/3 Political Development and Regional Interaction I: Regime type and Cooperative Outcomes.In this section the focus is on political development within states in East Asia and the implications for international economic and political relations in the region. Do the democratization processes in a number of regional actors matter for regional conflict and cooperation? How does nationalism constrain cooperation? What constraints are placed on inter-state bargaining by domestic political reform and/or upheaval? Does regime type matter for the analysis of East Asian international relations? Is there a relationship between political reform, development strategies, and patterns of regional inter-state relations?
