Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Assessment
Students will be assessed through three multiple-choice tests. The tests will take place online in real time (at 15:00) on the dates as announced in Moodle. Please note:
• There will be no alternative dates for these tests.
• The tests cannot be substituted by anything else.
(1) M/C test on block 1 (theories of economic development): The test will cover what has been presented during the first four classes (classical, neoclassical, and heterodox theories of development, EAD model).
(2) M/C test on two cases from block 2 (country cases of economic development): The test will cover what has been presented on the economic development processes of Japan and South Korea.
(3) M/C test on blocks 2 and 3 (comparative aspects of economic development in Northeast Asia): The test will cover what has been presented on the economic development process of China, and on comparative aspects of economic development in NEA.
The final grade for the course will be calculated as follows, based on the grades (not the points) for the three m/c tests:
• Test 1: 33%
• Test 2: 34%
• Test 3: 33%
Please note: This is not a lecture course (“Vorlesung”). Tests will thus not be repeated. They can also not be substituted by other contributions. Please make sure that you can participate. If you already know that this will not be possible, you should not register for this course. If you miss a test, for whatever reason, you will be graded “5” for that test. Please consider this when enrolling for this course.

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 comparative way. It consists of three blocks.
Block 1 (theories): Some of the key theories of economic development including the East Asian Development Model.
Block 2 (country cases): The economic development process of three countries of Northeast Asia: Japan, South Korea, and the PR China.
Block 3 (comparison): Revisiting the three cases in a comparative way, this time focusing more on the framework of development as extracted from the literature, and highlighting similarities and differences.
Expected outcome: Students know the fundamental ideas of various key theories of economic development, in particular classical/neoclassical, Marxist, Keynesian and dependency theory, dirigisme, structuralism, and neoliberalism. They understand the developmental paths of the individual East Asian countries both from a general perspective and with regard to their particularities, and are able to conduct comparative, method-based country case analyses and to apply the acquired knowledge to developments in the region.
