In this course, we will develop our understanding of current relations
between Japan and China, North and South Korea, and Taiwan by
learning about Japan’s historical relations with these countries. We will
develop our historical knowledge by looking at Japan’s colonization of
Korea and occupation of parts of China, and at the experiences of
Korean and Chinese migrants in Japan. You will then focus on current
political, cultural and economic issues of interest to you such as territorial
disputes with China and Korea, recent controversies about history
textbooks and Japan’s treatment of Korean ‘comfort women’, Japanese
policies towards North Korea, Japanese pop culture in East Asia, and
Japanese companies’ employment practices in China. Throughout the
course, you will use English to develop your understanding of these
issues through research, critical analysis and discussion with other
students.
