Course Description
From the CTY Course Catalog (2007):
What would happen if China consumed energy and resources at the per capita consumption rate of the United States? Is Japan’s economy still a powerhouse, or is it struggling in the face of increased competition in the region? What challenges will South Korea confront having entered into a free trade agreement with the US? Beyond economic and trade cooperation, how might East Asian countries tackle issues of security, the environment, and health with a multilateral approach? All these questions and more have turned the world’s attention more critically towards the Asian Pacific Rim. Such questions underscore the global significance of the economics and politics of the Asian Pacific Rim.
