The East Asian 'Miracle Growth' – especially of China and India, has heralded the dawn of a 'Pacific Century' and the world balance of political and economic power has shifted to this region. What does this economic social and environmental upheaval mean for the region and its peoples? A politico-economic method and analysis is applied to explain the region's engagement with the world political and economic system, with the region's development seen as a matter of resource – especially labour – control and exploitation. Students use case studies to assess the role of key actors in this regional change. -- Course Website
