Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Reflecting our integrated teaching and learning concept, this course includes the building of theoretical knowledge as well as its application to specific cases in East Asia. In a first step, students thus learn about the various types of economic systems including market economies, socialist systems, and market socialism and discuss the merits of different approaches towards their classification. This will include the question of transition and transformation of former socialist systems. In a second part, this knowledge will be applied to single cases in East Asia. We will develop an understanding of the types of economic systems prevalent in these cases, and the relevance of such insights. The focus of this seminar is on a static analysis of the status quo, and only to a lesser extent on economic development trajectories. The actual economies in East Asia are constantly changing. We therefore focus less on empirical knowledge of the structures and sectors of East Asian economies, but rather aim at developing and testing an applicable framework for their analysis.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Student participation in discussion is an integral part of this course. Regular participation is thus mandatory. The following rules apply: The final grade remains unchanged in the case of up to three absences. If you are absent 4 times, the final grade will be reduced by one full grade. If you are absent 5 times, the final grade will be reduced by two full grades, and so forth.
For the group presentations (see above), every member of the group will receive the same grade. I will grade the quality of the handout, of the PPT, and of the presentation.
Students are required to write a term paper (Seminararbeit). Details including structure, layout and grading criteria will be announced during class. The term papers are due on April 15th, 2015. Term papers will only be accepted electronically as Winword or similar files (no PDFs). They must be turned in by email. A delay in term paper submission of up to 1 week will result in downgrading by one full grade. A delay in term paper submission of up to 2 weeks will result in downgrading by two full grades, and so forth.
The final grade for the course will be calculated as follows:
Term paper: 50%
Group presentations: 50% (25% each)Please note: The term paper is an indispensable component of the seminar, in particular as it serves as a direct preparation for the MA thesis. In order to finish the course, students must have their term paper graded with at least 4. Students who fail to submit a term paper will be graded 5 (fail) for the whole seminar.
