Description of the Course

The growing economic power and influence of East Asia make it a fascinating area of study. The region has transformed from the economic devastation wrought by wars, together with later financial crisis, to the recognized center of gravity in the world economy.China, Japan and South Korea comprise an estimated 26% of the global economy (IMF 2018). Despite ongoing competitions, cooperation has emerged and proliferated. The force of a global economic marketplace has tie the fates of numerous countries in and out of the regions together. The proliferation of both multilateral and bilateral trade and investment agreements as well as regional production networks has been one of the most important recent trends in the region’s transnational relations. To better understand transnational economic relations in East Asia, this course will introduce economic theories on trade and regional economic integration, will analyze the cost and benefit of various types of trade policies, and will explain the political economy of the relevant government policies.
