Description:

Students will follow the history of these two Pacific powers over the last hundred years as they have pursued their unique social, cultural, and political ambitions on the world stage. Readings, discussions, and lectures will focus on China's transformation from an ancient, closed empire to a modern international state, with special emphasis on the social and cultural transformations of Mao Zhedong's Communist regime. In contrast, studies of Japan will evaluate that state's strategy of modernization, using Western means to achieve traditional Japanese goals. (2 credits) Klein
