EAS (S24) | 155 GERMANY & ASIA | BROADBENT, P. |
Emphasis/Category: Locating Europes and European Colonies, Inter-Area Studies, Locating Asias (Nation, Culture, and Diaspora) This upper-division course looks at the storied and dynamic relationships driven by Germany with China, Japan, and South Korea over the past 130 years. Starting with the Meiji Restoration, the Boxer Rebellion and the Korean War, German 103/German 160 traces the evolution of Germany’s economic, political and cultural relationships with Asia from the late nineteenth-century to the global present. Students will examine the economic and territorial ambitions of the German empire’s ambitions in Asia and later explore how the embrace of soft power (such as cultural exchanges, partner cities, education programs, and immigration treaties) in the postwar era allowed West Germany to forge significant economic and political ties with China, Japan and South Korea. We will conclude the course by looking at pressing contemporary issues and future trends, discussing how global challenges like climate change and technological advancements might impact these global relationships moving forward. | ||
