ASIA 2024 - Asian Giants: Japan, China & India

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2019

After centuries, Asia is re-emerging as the world's economic powerhouse enabling some Asian states to establish and to exercise both 'hard' and 'soft' power. China's and India's rapid rise in recent years and Japan's post-war standing as Asia's economic behemoth are reconfiguring regional and global power balances, particularly because never before have all three nations been strong simultaneously. The new centre of power that these circumstances create within Asia is qualitatively different from that of earlier power centres in Europe or North America. How the three Asian giants relate to each other bilaterally, as a triangle, and to other nations around the globe, while establishing and exercising a distinctive power dynamic, is the subject of this course. This course will use international relations perspectives to examine the rise of these nations and the implications for the region and the world at large. It will explore the relations between and beyond these nations in areas such as defence and security, energy, environment, economic aid, regional and international organisations. The course is particularly geared towards students who are majoring in Asian Studies, Asian politics and foreign policy and international studies and development studies. 'Asian Giants' will enable students to gain a sound understanding of the importance of the rise of Japan, China and India. *Students enrolled in this course are eligible to apply for the short-term overseas program: The Gateway Japan Study Tour which is likely to be offered in April during the mid-semester break. Special arrangements can then be made to adjust assessment to suit.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
