| Summary | East Asian economic growth has made it one of the most dynamic and important regions in the global economy. Along with this growth has come influence, though this has been somewhat diffused and disorganised. In addition, regionalism in East Asia has become more pronounced since the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, part of the world-wide trend toward regional integration.

Learning Outcomes
This course introduces the political economy of East Asia (broadly construed to include China, Japan, South Korea and the southeast Asian region). It examines the economic performance of these economies, and considers explanations for high levels of growth as well as the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997. Attention to the role of the state in economic development will be especially important ? particularly the development strategies of the major East Asian states. We will also consider the phenomenon of regional integration in East Asia, its causes and consequences.
