HIST 358 - Russia in Asia

Institution:

William Paterson University of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This course surveys Russia's conquest and incorporation of greater Siberia (including Pacific-rim territories) from 1550 to the present. For nearly half a millennium Russia has been attempting to extend itself eastward into northeast Asia - by force, especially at first, but also by more subtle means. However, the results defy easy categorization. Thus, Siberia is ideally suited to the study of contested frontiers, and to exploring the impact of expansion into Asia on the society and political-economic system behind them.
