Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
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.
Each student will have to submit a proposal for an analytical framework that can be applied to any given economic development path. More details on this assignment will be provided during class.
Furthermore, each student is required to actively contribute to one team presentation. This includes joint handouts with the key points on the assigned topic, and joint PPT presentations. Handouts and PPTs must be submitted electronically before the course begins. More details on the assignment will be provided during class.
The major contribution will be a term paper. More details on this assignment will be provided during class.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
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 must write a term paper (Seminararbeit). Details including layout and grading criteria will be announced during class. Term papers will only be accepted via Email as WinWord or similar files such as OpenOffice (I have to be able to conduct an automated word count). You will receive a short confirmation of receipt.
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 same rule applies to the other assignments.
The final grade for the course will be calculated as follows:
Framework proposal: 25%
Team presentation: 25%
Term paper: 50%

Students master 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 contemporary developments in the region.
