This course concentrates on three Asian countries (India, China, and Japan) and the Asia/Pacific Rim. We will examine politics, governments, and societies in India, China, and Japan, including Korea and Taiwan in the discussions, and later, we will examine economic development and human development, policies for poverty reduction, and environmental policies in the Asia/Pacific Rim. This course addresses the multifaceted issues concerned with politics, economics, culture, and the society of Asia. Its thematic focus is valuing the diversity of human experience. Since one of the themes in this course is development and environmental sustainability, this course will also address the liberal studies theme of environmental consciousness.
