Institutional Learning Outcomes: Intercultural Awareness Students are introduced to the politics of Asia within the Canadian context. They explore the socio-economic, political, and security dynamics of a region increasingly defined by great power rivalry and economic opportunity. Students will gain a deeper understanding of Canada-Asia relations and an appreciation for sociocultural and political diversity within the emerging Indo-Pacific era. Students consider topics such as multipolarity, great power competition, colonialism in Asia, poverty and development, corruption and human rights, democratization, sustainable development, social movements, and regional trade agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Students also consider security regimes such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, AUKUS, and the Shanghai Cooperative Organization. Prerequisite: 6 credits of POLI
