Description of the course
This course is designed to help students understand transitional relations of East Asia through the lens of trade. The course will start with basic trade theories, including comparative advantage and economies of scale, to provide a foundation for country studies, including but not limited to China, Japan and Korea. During this process, the export-led growth model, politics of trade, and the role of currency in international trade will be integrated to further enrich the analytical framework. Some current trends will also be discussed, like the trade war, the RCEP and regional integration, and the impact of digitalization.
The overall difficulty of the course is moderate. Students, with or without a background in economics, will be equipped with appropriate analytical tools as well as country and regional knowledge for future work and study. |
