Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Almost all of the global challenges of the 21st century have techno-political dimensions that force domestic and foreign policy to adapt to a world of increasing scientific and technical complexity. (South)East Asia is particularly interesting as one finds large cross-national differences in technological development and politics in a context of increasing globalization. A growing amount of scholars develop theories and methodological approaches to include social and political dimensions in research of science, technology and innovation (STI). In a first step, the course communicates various theories of STI and their contact points with political concepts relevant for domestic and foreign policy, i.e. political institutions, policy making, nationalism, transparency, power and legitimacy. In the second part, students learn how to develop consistent analytical frameworks derived from the theoretical considerations and apply them to cases in (South)East Asia. Special attention will be paid to techno-political aspects of social media, science diplomacy, knowledge for development, national systems of innovation and knowledge economies.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will be evaluated along the lines of active participation (30%), the quality of in-class presentations and feedback (30%) and their final term paper (40%).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students get acquainted with up-to-date social science research on issues of STI and political science. They will acquire basic knowledge of theoretical concepts and methodological approaches before learning how to operationalize and apply them to empirical cases. The intentional broadness of the topic brings students to creatively interweave concepts from two distinct disciplines, i.e. political science and science and technology studies. The course conveys the basic parameters of STI and politics in (South)East Asia and provides students the knowledge to understand and explain current developments.

Prüfungsstoff

The course requires students to read two journal articles or book chapters for each session. Discussions are then guided by both instructors along text-based questions that each student is required to develop prior to class. Additionally, each student needs to contribute to at least one group presentation and feedback group on an empirical case framed by an agreed upon research question. In the last session students hold poster presentations to pitch their ideas for term papers followed by in-class discussions

A literature list will be available on moodle.
