Challenges in 21st-Century East Asia. July 8-14, 2018. Application deadline:
Monday, March 19, 2018. How and why are the nations of East Asia such uneasy
neighbors? This institute will examine the recent past, present, and future
of East Asian regional relations, considering China, Japan, Taiwan, and the
Koreas. The program will lay the groundwork for current issues by
deconstructing the region's "history problem"-the enduring legacies and
hotly contested national narratives of 20th-century conflict. Participants
will then focus on current topics-national strategies and their regional
impact, territorial disputes, economic cooperation and rivalries, the
environment, demographics-and prospects for the East Asian regional order of
the future. The institute will be held on the CU Boulder campus.
