- Show understanding key concepts from International Relations Theory that relate to international cooperation on Drug Policy;

- Show a critical attitude towards the formation of an institutional response as part of the Drug policy Debate in East Asia.This is a text-based course. This means that students are expected to read an average of 20 pages per week, in preparation for each session. The course is divided in two parts:
- For the first part, students will get an overview of the Drug Policy debate and the International Drug Control Regime, applying a framework that relies strongly on theoretical concepts from International Relations and Political Science. Therefore, this section will also review the role of institutions within the international system as well as existing frameworks of cooperation that could apply to the implementation of Drug Policy strategies.
- The second part of the course will delve into the characteristics of the Contemporary (East)Asian Drug Policy and the existing challenges to the implementation of a regional response to Drugs. Although the course includes a list of text to prepare for in-class discussions, students are strongly encouraged to research and read additional academic literature to enrich the discussion of each unit.Due to restrictions imposed by COVID-19 measures, the course will be taught in hybrid mode, with four sessions taught in campus. All compulsory activities will be held over Moodle in a mix of synchronous and asynchronous methods. Each week of class will include activities either in the form of a webinar (synchronous), video content or other online methods for students to prepare asynchronously.
