Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The goal of this course is to provide a concise overview of the history of East Asia (mainly China, Japan, and Korea) from its beginnings until present time. A focus will be on the period from the 19th century onward. Students understand the major trajectories of East Asia’s history, the foundations of culture and society, and the various forms of interaction and interdependence that emerged over time and form the background for current events in economics, politics, and society in general.
Assessment and permitted materials
Grading will be done based on two multiple-choice tests (for dates see class schedule).
