Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
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 the world are constantly changing. We therefore focus less on empirical knowledge of the structures and sectors of East Asian economies, but rather aim at developing a framework for their analysis. In the first units students will acquire or refresh knowledge on major theories of economic systems. In an active discussion, we will develop the criteria needed for a classification and comparison of economic systems. These will be tested against the cases of the USA, China, Europe and the so-called Asian model. Towards the end of the course, students will apply their knowledge to one example of an East Asian market economy (South Korea) and to one example of a socialist system (North Korea).
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Students’ 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 for up to 4 times, the final grade will be reduced by one full grade. If you are absent for up to 5 times, the final grade will be reduced by two full grades, and so forth.
Students also have to write a term paper (Seminararbeit). Details including layout and grading criteria will be announced during class. The term papers are due on April 16th, 2012. Term papers will only be accepted in printed form (not electronically). They must be turned in either directly at my office or via my mail box in the secretariat. 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: 45%
Essays: 45% (15% each)
Participation in class discussion: 10%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” (D). Students who fail to submit a term paper will be graded “5” for the seminar.

Prüfungsstoff
This is a text-based seminar. Accordingly, in preparation of each unit, students will be asked to read related book chapters or articles. This will create a foundation for active discussion during the seminar. Expect reading about 40 pages per week.
In addition, students are required to write three essays (details in the class schedule). The essays have to be submitted electronically before the unit begins.
To adjust the workload, we will occasionally skip single units and allot this time to the preparation of the essays and the final term paper. Details will be announced during class.
