(3.00)

This course examines the political, social, economic, cultural and military aspects of the four major Asian wars of the last century: the Pacific War, the Chinese Civil War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. We will explore theories about “absolute war” and “people’s war.” We then explore alternative approaches to understanding the origins and impacts of wars in East Asia, including the perspectives of international relations, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, and literature.
