The resurging interest in Empire and Imperialism as subjects of historical investigation has yielded in the last decade and a half a number of works which have greatly increased our understanding, and in some cases even awareness, of processes of expansion practiced and/or undergone by East Asian states and societies. In this seminar we are going to read some of these: from reinterpretations of Manchu China and Tokugawa Japan, to works on modern Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism in East Asia. Furthermore, our focus will not only be on the forms of Imperialism described by these books, but also how these new perspectives can be part of a reconfiguration of our understanding of Global History in the (early) modern era.

This seminar course will cover the history of modern Korea and its place in the wider world.

The “at the center” of the course title has a dual connotation here. It signifies Korea’s importance in regional and even global histories of the twentieth century; at the same time it stresses the need to put Koreans central in this story, instead of treating the peninsula as merely the geographic location where outside actors clash.

HIST 4670 - Studies in Central Eurasian History
The Great Game was a cold war between the British and Russian Empires in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The British were certain that the Russians planned to take over their crown jewel, India while Russia was positive that the British planned to expand into the Central Asia, on which the Russians also had designs. In between the two empires was Afghanistan-the borders of the country would be determined by the Great Game. The Great Game took a break in the mid-twentieth century but has resumed with the collapse of the Soviet Union. With American involvement in Central Asia, particularly since 9/11, there is a new Great Game with more players. Regardless of the players, the Great Game and the machinations of all involved have impacted history and culture and a number of ways which will be explored in this class. (ASIAN, EUROPEAN OR WORLD)
