IAS 130: China in the Global Context: The Shanghai Experience
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The course studies the transformation of political institutions, socioeconomic structure, and cultural forms in modern China in the context of the global flow of people, ideas, and goods. It chooses a local narrative approach and situates the investigation of China's modern transformation in one of China's largest, most complex and dynamic cities-Shanghai. The experience of the city and its people in the 19th and 20th centuries demonstrates that they do not just respond to global currents; they have been playing an active part in taking measure of the world and redefining, reconfiguring, and reshaping global forces such as imperialism, nationalism, consumerism, authoritarianism, liberalism, communism, and capitalism. The interplay between foreign imports and influences on the one hand and local developments on the other shapes the course of modern China and helps China play an important role on the world stage. The historical events and processes the course examines include the 19th-century rebellion, the Opium War, migration, print culture, consumer culture, gender and ethnicity, the Nationalist revolution, social reform and political mobilization, the Communist revolution, and the Post-Mao reform. This course introduces students to the variety of scholarly interpretations of the Shanghai experience and its position in modern Chinese history. No background in Chinese history or Chinese language is required or assumed. But acknowledging the value of the non-Western experience and understanding cultural diversity are important concerns of this course. This course is restricted to freshmen in the program China in the Global Context.

IAS 140: East Asia in the World
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The goal of this course is to provide students with an introduction to East Asia as well as a look at the region's role in a global setting. The course first covers the geopolitical history of 20th-century East Asia, from its colonial constellation into Cold War nation-states. We then use an interdisciplinary approach to investigate contemporary problems accompanying the emergence of regional economies and institutions. We grapple with the question of when people in East Asia-China, Taiwan, the Koreas, and Japan-act as a member of a transnational region and when they act in ideological, national, or local terms. We evaluate different disciplinary approaches in order to understand the combination of knowledge and skills necessary for drawing meaningful research conclusions. In reading articles produced by a range of scholars and institutions, the course is also an introduction to the politics of the production of knowledge about East Asia. This course is restricted to freshmen in the International Leadership Program.

IAS 170: Is There a Global Culture?
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Opponents of globalization have argued that a standardized, commercialized, and United States-dominated culture is supplanting local cultures around the world. This, they assert, will make the world into a boring place in which local artists are squashed by nondescript cultural products distributed by an all-powerful American commercial machine. This course questions whether any such thing is happening and suggests that there are far more interesting ways of considering what "global culture" might be. It helps provide you with the skills in cultural observation and interpretation necessary for informed leadership in the globalizing world. This course is restricted to freshmen in the International Leadership Program.
