CCSS 4391 Research - Cultural Competency and Contemporary Security Issues in Asia Course Description/Overview This course focuses on current and recent major issues within the continent of Asia. It focuses on key regions in Asia that impact American interests and foreign policy. While engaging in critical analysis of current issues, it examines the broader conceptual context and analytic framework that explains interactions within the region and the international arena. The course will provide the student with a knowledge of the important challenges and initiatives within key regions on the Asian continent that impact regional security, international security, and the national security priorities of the United States. Click this link for a printable version of the syllabus. Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes Objectives: As a result of completing this course, the student will be able to: Comprehend the details and priorities of the political, cultural, and military issues in key regions on the Asian continent. Analyze the role of the international community and the United States when it comes to regional security issues in key regions on the Asian continent.
2 Analyze and articulate the events and changing paradigms that have occurred since the end of the Cold War in key regions on the Asian continent.

Course Organization: Lesson One: Introduction to the Context and Broad-Based Issues in Asia: Asia is easily the largest continent on earth. In fact, the politics, culture and security issues in Asia are as divergent (or more) as anywhere else. It will be the goal of this lesson to address some of the broad based issues that exist in three key regions in Asia - Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. For the purposes of this lesson (and course) the Middle East will not be included in the various case studies and analysis (the Middle East will be addressed in separate classes). While the issues in Asia are as widely varied as the continent itself, they are quite compelling. In this lesson, we will explore the broad based complexities inherent in the three key regions in Asia addressed above. Lesson Two: India-Pakistan: Key Security Issues: Following WWII, the United Kingdom granted independence to what they
3 called their "Indian Colony." The vast expanse of South Asia that the British had called "India" was sharply divided along both ethnic and religious lines. The result of independence ended up being three independent and unstable nation-states (India, Pakistan, and eventually Bangladesh). It also resulted in disputes over territory - particularly in Kashmir (a region in the north of South Asia that also borders China). The territorial disputes and the tensions remain - though India is now a stable, in many ways economically prosperous, democracy. Pakistan decidedly is not. Bangladesh remains extremely economically challenged. This lesson will look at the reasons behind the tensions and resulting security challenges, and discuss two key security issues - the dispute over Kashmir, and the nuclear stand-off between India and Pakistan. Lesson Three: The U.S. and China: Friends or Competitors?: China has always been the largest, most powerful nation in East Asia. But China went through a period in the 19th and 20th centuries where its power - both economic and military - was greatly weakened, and it was largely dominated by Western powers. This period has ended. China is now rapidly growing into the world's largest economy and its military is growing as its economy explodes. This leads one to ask the question, why would China want to grow the capabilities of its military? Is it to threaten the interests of the United States in Asia? Does the leadership in China desire a partnership with the United States, or a competition - or even ultimately an arms race? In this lesson, we will address key issues relating to the China - U.S. question. Lesson Four: China and its Neighbors: Is the Middle Kingdom Back?: China has traditionally been known as the "Middle Kingdom." This can be translated to mean (and is by many historians and regional experts) that China is the center or Asia, and all important things revolve around it. For centuries it actually was that way - and many would say that once again, China is the true center of power and tradition in Asia. The goal of this lesson will be to examine China's relationships with several key neighbors - Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. China has relationships with all of its neighbors and all over Asia - but the relationships Beijing has with these nations are (arguably) its most important. Lesson Five: Southeast Asian Security Issues: Southeast Asia is a region that many Americans have visited - either on vacation or when they were on active duty military service. This is a vast region that stretches from Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia, to Indonesia, and the Philippines, down to Australia. There are important issues in the region. Many of them are maritime issues such as piracy or the Spratly Islands dispute, and some of the issues deal with nation-states who have interests there - such as the United States and China. In this lesson we will focus on an overall examination of all of the security issues in Southeast Asia, and then focus on one specific issue - territorial disputes in the South China Sea (particularly the Spratly Islands).
4 Lesson Six: The North Korea Question: North Korea is a country that has been a thorn in the side of American policy makers and military planners since the day the NKPA launched a full-scale attack across the 38th parallel into South Korea in North Korea continues to be a nation-state that hangs on to its unique Asia communist ideology, maintains one of the largest conventional militaries on earth, and develops, deploys, and proliferates weapons of mass destruction and the platforms to launch them (ballistic missiles). The struggling economy in North Korea affects all of this. Thus, it will be the goal of this lesson to give the student insights into the often asked "North Korea Question." Lesson Seven: Japan and the United States: Past, Present, and Future: Japan and the United States have certainly come a long way in their relationship. Japan has gone from being a hated enemy during WWII to being one of America's most stalwart and trusted allies, and a solid economic partner. There have been many changes in Japan and in the U.S. - Japan relationship over the years. The horrors of the recent earthquakes in Japan are still being felt and have affected commerce all over the world. The military relationship between Japan and America is evolving as well. And the debate over the future of Japan's defense forces is one that will hold ramifications for all of Asia. In this lesson, we will examine the important Japanese - U.S. relationship, and also focus on the future roles, missions, strategy, and changes likely for Japanese defense forces. Lesson Eight: Assessment: This week is set aside for the student to complete a 5-7 page essay assignment. The purpose of this assignment is to measure student mastery of the course objectives.
