Globalization, Economy and Politics in Asia
The course focuses on India, China, Northeast and Southeast Asia and starts with the changes in the international economy that began in the late 1980s. These events are linked to current day national political developments, which forms the empirical background to the course.
From a theoretical perspective, which have developed primarily from empirical studies of the West, much of today's development appears to be difficult to understand and contradictory. The course intends to address a new and important area of research on the development and conditions of democratic, semi-authoritarian and authoritarian regimes, which partly challenges previous conceptions. How can we understand states, political participation, representation and civil society in relation to these regimes?
