Content
Over the last decades, large Asian countries such as China, India, Japan and Indonesia have turned into prosperous and powerful states. The rise of Asia has enormous consequences for the rest of the world. In the Minor Global Asia we look at the backgrounds of Asia’s resurgence over the last century in a global perspective. The four courses concentrate on (1) the political and economic rise of Asia; (2) the consequences of colonialism; (3) the connections between philosophy, literature and modernity in South and East Asia; (4) the history and culture of modern China. The Minor combines approaches from history, media, literature, linguistics and international relations.
