The aim of this unit is to introduce students to the studies and analysis of the international relations of East Asia, one of the most dynamic and consequential regions in world politics today. Through a close examination of the interplay of great power politics, security competition and foreign policies between principal state actors in the region, namely, China, Japan, the United States, and to a lesser extent, Russia, it looks at problems, challenges and prospects of regional conflict and cooperation and assesses the implications of possible power transition played out in East Asia for the future of global politics.
