Institutions & Reforms in East Asia
Vladimir Zakharov
vzakharov@rambler.ru
The course is to investigate principal roles of the international and State institutions as
agents of political and economic development in East Asian countries. The first part of the course
focuses on the political, economic and social aspects of the development proper to related region. It
highlights important institutional differences between developed and developing countries and
explores the evolution of political and economic reforms in regional and states dimensions. It then
examines different forms of regional integration taking in account of existing differences in
political, economic and social of related countries in East Asia and looks at the effects of such
innovation on the patterns of economic growth. This part also introduces students to the
understanding of relevant interaction and interdependence between State and NGO in political and
social process and evaluates the relevance of such theories for explaining current economic
situation in East Asia. The second part of the course has empirical focus. It utilizes theoretical and
historical material to analyze the evolution of political, economic and social situation and relations
in different East Asian countries, such as China, Japan, India and explores on bilateral and
multilateral basis relations between main regional actors.
Course Materials
 Electronic copies of all journal articles assigned for the course will be provided by the teacher at
the first class meeting.
Requirements
1. Students are required to read and synthesize all materials before coming to class. In order to
engage with the course material seriously, you must read all articles carefully and regularly.
You are also encouraged to search and read relevant articles in Russian.
2. Active and informed discussions are vital to the life of the course. Every student is expected to
actively contribute to the scholarly exchange throughout the course. Regular contributions will
help you to succeed in the seminar and will enhance the learning experience of all participants
(including mine).
3. Students are required to lead-off discussion on a rotating basis. Each week two or three students
will serve as chief discussants of the readings. The presenters must prepare an essay of about
1000 words and make a presentation. The essay is to be emailed to the teacher and other
students at least three days prior to the scheduled session. Rather than simply summarizing the
reading under question, the discussion leaders should critically engage with the material and
tease out special questions or problems that appear worthy of attention.
4. To successfully fulfill the course requirements students must pass end-course written exam.
The exam will include several theoretical and empirical questions designed by the teacher.
Students will receive the questions at least one week prior to the due date and will be allowed
to choose two questions they are interested in (one theoretical and one empirical) and provide
written answers. Each answer should be no more than 5 double-spaced pages.
Evaluation
 Attendance and active participation: 25% (on your evident grasp of the readings and the quality
and relevance of your questions in classroom discussion)
 Chief discussant essays and presentations: 25% (quality of the essays and clarity of the
presentations)
 Final test: 50% (demonstration of the knowledge of the literature and critical skills)
