Course Title:
Reconciliation And Justice in East Asia
Course Number:
POL3870-01-00
Course Description:
The course will explore the politics of memory and reconciliation in East Asia, focusing on three core countries, China, Japan, and Korea, but not limited to them. While there are rising demands on building cooperation among the countries in East Asia, these core countries also have shown great difficulty to resolve the historical issues. As the various narratives of the nation-building are intricately intertwined with ideology, war, and colonial experiences, the region has grown a sense of hostility that is difficult to resolve, wounds of war violence, Orientalist demeanor, and insoluble hatred for each other. Many international relations scholars tend to regard this difficulty of historical reconciliation only as an obstacle to create international cooperation in this region, but because historical issues in East Asia rooted in deeper identity issues, we need to diagnosis this problem more carefully.
