Conflict & Cooperation in Asia

Asia is home to a very diverse array of powers facing major and minor issues. These issues range from water, population control, health and environment to territory, armed conflict and nuclear threats. The goal of this course is to study some of the problems that can lead to instability in the region with enormous potential to affect the rest of the world, as well as ways developed by these states to cooperate with each other. Examples are drawn primarily from China and India but also from other countries in Asia.
