The Graduate School of International Studies Yonsei University Spring 2006 Asia-Pacific Security Jaebum Kim Jaebum50@hanmail.net / 02-2123-3288, 02-3497-7678, 010-4511-3270 201 New Millennium Building 11:00-13:50 Friday Office Hour: 14:00-17:00 Friday or by appointment 3/13 For Whom is the Course? This course is designed for students who have particular interest in security cooperation and arrangements in the Asia-Pacific region. Those who wish to prepare a thesis related to the subject are invited to take the course, which is to be tailored for customer satisfaction. Objectives and Descriptions The course aims to examine and analyze historical backgrounds, geopolitical environment, strategic thinking and idiosyncrasies of the main actors in the region and their individual and collective efforts to improve national and regional security. The course will then move its attention to the analysis and assessment of traditional and non-traditional threats as well as new issues in the regional security such as globalization, roles of non-state actors, international terrorism, environmental degradation, natural disasters, epidemic, illegal migration, human trafficking, drug trafficking, piracy, organized crime, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and conventional arms, money laundering, counterfeit and smuggling to name a few. The ultimate objective of the course lies in forecasting the forthcoming security environment of the region and developing ideas to cope with it by strengthening international cooperation and coordination. Requirements As far as PIC trains students are required to take ‘Introduction to International Relations’ and/or ‘Introduction to International Security,’ no further prerequisites are set in order for the classes to be handled in a flexible way to the most possible extent. Class Management The whole class will be divided into groups of 4~6 students each, corresponding to their proximity of interested fields and thesis titles. A class leader and group leaders are to be elected and, then, topics and schedule for both individual and group presentations are encouraged to be decided as early as possible. A survey will be conducted to customize the classes to best suit expectations and suggestions of the majority of students. Outside lecturers can be invited as desired by students, and outdoor classes will be available as weather permits. The whole class will move from the classroom to a dining room each week at 12:30 to share lunch, which is to be paid by the professor, unless brownbag seminars are possible within the classroom. Assessment The students will not be evaluated on the basis of their knowledge, talents or intelligence but entirely of sincerity to be displayed throughout the semester. The criteria can be summarized into ‘7 Ps’: preparation, presence, punctuality, participation, presentation, process and progress, and described as the following: Class preparation and attendance; 30% Participation and contribution; 20% Group research paper and presentation; 30% Individual research paper and presentation; 20% No examinations are planned unless the majority of students want otherwise. However, preliminary grading will be informed individually in Week 13 and those who are not satisfied with it may challenge to apply for examinations with simple-answer questions.
