While the regions gross domestic product GDP growth slowed from 85 percent in 2008 to 70 percent in 2009 the region is expected to bounce back to 86 percent in 2010 But in an unusually diverse region averages mask wide differences across countries C. The aim of this module is to understand the rise of the East Asian region through analysing the interconnections between development and geopolitics. The module adopts an historical approach beginning with an examination of the legacies of European and Japanese imperialism and the subsequent role of post-war US hegemony and Cold War politics in shaping development across the region. It also examines the nature of the post-Cold War era for East Asia. The module also critically examines various theoretical frameworks and debates concerning late development, including realist IR theory, neoclassical development theory, state institutionalism, and theories of imperialism. The module thereby provides a unique means with which to examine contemporary shifts in the distribution of global power. . HI 176: Lecture 5. Dr. Howard Chiang. Historical Context.
