This is a course designed to provide the student with an overview of current issues in the world, focusing on the crises that the three regions—that is, America, Europe, and East Asia—and the world face. This course is intended to bring a promising way to understand “why the crisis occurs, why the crisis is so deep and broad, how the crisis affects our daily life, how this crisis will affect our future, and how we should respond to the crisis.” Students will be exposed to a wide-range of knowledge and thought about American hegemony, inequality, political crisis, Russia-Ukraine war, liberal international order, European integration, Europeanization, the rise of Euroscepticism, ‘history problem’ in East Asia, rising China as well as global pandemic and climate disaster.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

The class will be structured around what I call a class dialogue in which information, knowledge, and thought will be generated through lecture, discussion and, in particular, the Socratic method. I will often play the role of provocateur and advocate to stimulate participation. The class dialogue emphasizes the importance of student participation and active learning as a means to improve one’s skills, interest, information, knowledge, and, ultimately, understanding. In essence, class discussions will consist of an active exchange between the student and professor.
