Global Studies (GLST) 307 The Pacific Century
Overview
GLST 307 is a telecourse that provides an introduction to Southeast and East Asia in the twentieth century. The course is designed as a systematic study of modern Asian history, geography, and political economy through an examination of the cultures and modern histories of the various Asian countries on the Pacific Rim. As a broad survey of the Pacific region's economic, political, and cultural development over the last one hundred and fifty years, this course employs an interdisciplinary approach to explore a number of themes that are fundamental to the emergence of modern East and Southeast Asia. The recurrent tensions between tradition and modernization, democracy and authoritarianism, imperialism and nationalism, independence and interdependence, and Eastern values and Western methods are among the themes discussed from the perspectives of various disciplines including anthropology, geography, history, political science, and economics.
Course Objectives
The course will provide students with an understanding of the major political developments that have occurred in the Pacific Rim region since the mid-nineteenth century, and of the economic links that have grown up among the countries of East and Southeast Asia, and between these countries and the industrialized Western world. As well, the course will increase student awareness of the culture and achievements of each of the peoples of East and Southeast Asia, of the social and political structures that have influenced how each Pacific Rim country has developed, and of the factors that hamper or promote modernization in each of these communities.

Course Materials
Textbooks
Borthwick, Mark. 1992. Pacific Century: The Emergence of Modern Pacific Asia. Boulder: Westview Press.
Borthwick, Mark, and Gil Latz. 1992. The Pacific Century Study Guide. Boulder: Westview Press.
Other material
The course materials include a student manual.
Special Course Features
HIST 307 is a telecourse, and the television programs are an integral component of the course. Whereas the textbook provides factual information and interpretative analysis, the videotapes bring a valuable sense of reality and immediacy to the study of East and Southeast Asia. Through vivid portrayals of conflicts and achievements captured in photographs and on film, students are able to watch history unfold and listen to the central issues of the course being debated by prominent scholars, journalists, and political figures. The television programs are available to students in two formats: they are broadcast regularly on ACCESS, The Education Station in Alberta and on the Knowledge Network in British Columbia, and they may also be borrowed as videotapes from Athabasca University Library.
The other class I wish to substitute is: HIST 307 (Pacific Century).
