Workload
In its first part, 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 participation during the seminar. Expect reading about 40 pages per week.
You will have to write one multiple-choice test on the key elements of the first, theoretical part of this seminar.
In addition, each student will be required to actively contribute to six group presentations during which selected aspects of economic systems will be compared among China, Japan, and South Korea. This task includes the preparation and uploading of recorded PPT presentations on Moodle. Details of the assignments are specified in a separate document.
The main student contribution will be a term paper (see below).
Many of you are interested in knowing more about other countries of East Asia, including Southeast Asia. For reasons of time, our case studies focus on China, Japan and Korea. But you can use the knowledge gained during the seminar to explore the economic systems of these countries in your term paper.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Assessment
(1) The m/c test will be held online. The date will be 31.10.2022. There will be no alternative date for this test; please make sure that you can participate.
(2) For the group presentations, every member of the group will receive the same grade. This can be frustrating, mostly due to actual or assumed free riding etc. Take it as an exercise on how to deal with such phenomena, since – like it or not – you will encounter them often in your professional life. Develop your own strategies: find allies, motivate team mates, find ways to sanction them if they do not cooperate, or just make your peace with reality.
(3) Students are required to write a term paper (Seminararbeit). Details including structure, layout and grading criteria will be discussed in great detail during the exercise course. The term papers are due at 23:59 on 28.02.2023. Term papers will only be accepted in electronic form via Moodle as either a WinWord, OpenOffice or a similar file where I can count the words.
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:
• M/C test: 14%
• Group presentations: 6% each (total: 36%)
• Term paper: 50%

Please note:
• In order to finish the course successfully, you must submit all three assignments as listed above.
• The term paper is an indispensable component of the seminar, in particular as it serves as a direct preparation for the MA thesis. The term paper is a minimal requirement (“Mindestanforderung”) must thus be passed in order to pass the whole course.
• Students who get a “5” for their term paper or fail to submit a term paper will be graded “5” (fail) for the whole seminar regardless of the other assignments.

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 learn (or refresh their knowledge) 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. In a second part, this will be applied to cases in East Asia on a comparative basis. The analytical framework for that comparison will be provided by the instructor. In the third part, students will be asked to apply and expand what they have learned by writing a term paper.
IMPORTANT: You need to participate in the “Exercise Course on Economic Systems in East Asia” (course number 150021, Tuesdays 13:15-14:45). All consultations on the term paper will take place during that Exercise Course. You can only register for this Seminar if you have already registered for the Exercise Course.
We will develop an understanding of the types of economic systems and especially of their various components. The focus of this seminar is on a static analysis of the status quo at a given time. The actual economies in East Asia are constantly changing. We therefore focus as much on short-lived empirical knowledge of the structures and sectors of East Asian economies, as we aim at developing and testing a more durable framework for their analysis.
