This is a specialisation course in Asian Studies focusing on the international relations of the region. It starts with the main theories of international relations and then continues with a short historical overview focusing mainly on the post-war period. Subsequently, the course deals with the following most important regional questions: great power rivalry, identity and historical memory, territorial disputes and nontraditional security issues, such as public diplomacy, "soft power" and environmental and food safety. The course is based on the student's active participation, and the students develop their ability to critically evaluate and analyse theories and use empirical examples from the region.
