3 Welcome If our future society is to overcome conflicts and confrontations and rise to the ideals of tolerance and peace, diversity and universality must be realized in harmony. To that end, Kyung Hee University established the Global Collaborative Summer Program centered around Global Governance and East Asian Civilization. Building upon the two-year success of the Penn-Kyung Hee Collaborative Summer Program launched in 2006, the joint initiative of Kyung Hee University and University of Pennsylvania, the Global Collaborative seeks to promote a better understanding of the East Asian region and the world, in tandem with the current quests for multiculturalism and global trust. It also aims to provide a new paradigm for higher education by integrating education, research, and practice. The Global Collaborative Summer Program is based on institutional agreements between Kyung Hee University and University of Pennsylvania and East Asia s finest universities; Peking University in China, Ritsumeikan University in Japan, Moscow State University in Russia as well as the United Nations and Conference of NGOs (CoNGO). Through high- quality research, education and diverse modules on Global Governance and East Asian Civilization, we hope this program will present an opportunity for students around the world to come together for a better understanding of each other. We strongly believe that all the participants can explore the common norms, tasks, and goals for the future of global society in the 21st Century. Gon Khang Dean, Office of International Affairs

Taught by a faculty team of internationally renowned scholars, courses are centered on Global Governance and East Asian Civilization. With the exception of the Korean Language all courses are taught in English. * The course information may change. UN and INGOS in Global Governance UN and Global Governance -John Ikenberry Albert G. Milbank Professor, Princeton University Global Eminent Scholar, KHU -Hyun Kim Professor, KHU Vice Dean, College of Politics & Economics This course will explore the history and theory of global governance with special attention to the role and activities of the United Nations. We start with a survey of the history and contending views of international organizations and governance of world affairs. Next, we look at the practice of global governance since 1945 on a range if issues. We look at specific areas where the United Nations is involved - security, economics, development, human rights, and environment. At the end of the class, we should have a good understanding of the limits and promise of international organizations - particularly the UN. Today and Tomorrow: The Big, Trans-National Trends Affecting Global Society in the 21st Century -Paul M. Kennedy J. Richardson Dilworth Professor, Yale University Global Eminent Scholar, KHU -Jin Young Chung Professor, KHU Dean, College of International Studies Every so often in the history of international affairs, a great transnational turbulence shakes the foundations of the world and brings many of its older structures tumbling to the ground, as we witnessed in 1919, 1945 and In the confusion and babble that follow, it s difficult to see through the dust and recognize the shape of the altered strategic landscape. This course is to analyze new ways of working together to cope with transnational problems by understanding the key political, economic, ecological and social factors shaping the process of globalization.

7 Global Public Goods, Civil Society Engagement, and the Empowerment of Non-Governmental Organizations -Liberato Bautista President, CoNGO The focus of the course will be on understanding what civic values, civic engagement and civic action means through a study of both theories and practices related to civil society (CSOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This focus is critical in understanding how NGO players engage, how communities act, and how global actors address, the critical task of transformation towards durable peace and social justice. To understand the critical task of transformation, the class will explore what global public goods are, and what institutions, movements and agents advocate for them. The nature of CSOs and NGOs will be at the core of class discussions. What roles do civil society and non-governmental organizations play in grassroots, national, regional, international and multilateral levels? How are organizational principles, like accountability, transparency and responsibility as well as operational principles like consultation, collaboration, and cooperation, exhibited in the life and work of NGOs? The work of the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO) will be highlighted in the study of the above organizational principles. Students will be required to inquire upon the practice of a specific NGO of their own choosing and shed light on their nature and activities in light of the same organizational principles. Cultures and Arts Korean Language -Jung Sup Kim Professor, KHU Director, Institute of International Education Promotion of speaking/listening competency and practical writing/reading skills based on various situations and language functions radically divided into 6 levels for student self advancement in the academic as well as survival Korean language purpose. This course will be taught in Korean. The registration is not available for Korean native speakers. Being, Living, Performing Korea -Young-Lan Lee Professor, KHU The purpose of the course is to examine and experience Korean traditional and contemporary performing arts and culture in general including theatre, dance, music, performative events and festivals etc. Through various visual materials, actual viewing and participating into theatre performances and daily events, students will catch the overall pictures and find the unique aspects of Korean performing arts and everyday culture. Moreover, students will embody the energy and ethos of Korean performing arts through exciting and playful traditional Mask Dance Drama training which is full of hilarious humor and poignant satire.

8 Global Collaborative Summer Program Economics and Busines Economics of Human and Organizational Life Behavior -Femida Handy Professor, University of Pennsylvania Editor-in-Chief, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly Following in the footsteps of Nobel laureate Gary Becker, this course examines everyday human and organizational decision making using an economic perspective. As a society, we choose many different ways to organize different aspects of our lives. The institutions and organizations we choose to provide us with the necessities and comforts of life range from the fundamental institutions of family and religious organizations, to firms in the capitalistic market, NGOs, and democratically elected governments. Peace Through Commerce: The United Nations Global Compact and the Future of the Economy -Oliver Williams Professor, University of Notre Dame Director, Center for Ethics and Religious Values in Business The purpose of the course is to introduce the student to the United Nations Global Compact, the largest voluntary corporate social responsibility project with over 5000 businesses in 135 countries. The course is designed to examine the ten principles of the Global Compact and their focus on Human rights, labor rights, environmental issues and corruption and to understand why the compact is so attractive to many stakeholders of business. Thinking clearly about how onw integrates environmental, social and governance issues into corporate management will be enhanced by having several company officers from companies that have signed the compact speak to the class. The students will have the opportunity to meet business leaders and get some insight on the changing role of business in society. The readings and class discussion will enable the student to develop an understanding of how companies can restore public trust in business by a focus on the moral and ethical values so important to many in society. Comparative Study of East Asian Economic Developments -Hong Yung Lee Professor, University of California, Berkeley Taking as its assumption that the basic characteristic of East Asia s political economy is a unique mix of political authority and market exchange, this course will survey how the state and market have interacted to produce rapid economic growth in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China. This course has two intellectual objectives: 1) to identify a typical East Asian mix of authority and exchange relations while detecting covariation within the cases studied, and 2) to develop a concept of institutional templates for the three East Asian countries that will enable us to identify the divergences and convergences between their economic institutions. The course will start with theoretical literature on the various approaches to economic development including new institutional economics and developmental states theory, and will then move to comparing the specific economic institutions of the three countries.

9 Economic Growth, Income Distribution, and Poverty Reduction in East Asia -Ke Young Chu Professor, KHU Former Economist at IMF This course will examine how East Asian newly industrialized economies achieved high growth and what it means for human welfare, particularly its distributional and poverty implications. To this end, the course will use a framework of new institutional economics, as well as neoclassical growth models, to identify the proximate and ultimate sources of economic growth in East Asia by comparison with advanced industrial economies and with developing economies. Proximate factors include physical and human capital formation, technical progress, demographic changes, and government policies. Ultimate factors include societal values that have nurtured the policies and other institutions in these economies. The course will offer an analysis of how growth, income distribution, and poverty reduction are related in general and discuss some of the empirical results to highlight how these have interacted in East Asia in an environment of increasingly interdependent world economies in an age of globalization. The East Asian economies for this course will include (1) China; (2) Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region; (3) Japan; (4) South Korea; (5) Singapore; and (6) Taiwan, Province of China. The course will offer an in-depth discussion of Korea and an overview of emerging issues facing the East Asian economies in the coming years. World Trends of Regional Economic Integration and its Implication to East Asia -Kwang Ho Chun Professor, King s College London University of London International Scholar, KHU This module introduces students to the subject of critical comparison between World s regional economic integration and its implication to East Asia. Will these trends become a model for the future of East Asia or are they totally different? This course is designed to question this thesis by explicitly attempting to evaluate the economic, political, history, social and cultural development, current status and likely future of economic integration in several regions in Europe, North America, East Asia and Korea s attempts in comparative context. This course will accomplish three primary tasks. First it will introduce students to theoretical similarities and differences between regional economic integrations in Europe, North America, and East Asia. Second, it will explore the history, social and cultural development and current state of the political and economic system of each of the region. Third, the module will serve to provide an understanding of Europe, North America, and East Asia in comparative context in particular their political and economic institutions and general organizational structures. These goals will be accomplished through extensive reading and discussion of regional-specific literature (books and articles) as well as a comparative analysis on the basis of a reading of the literature of comparative political and economic institutions.

10 Global Collaborative Summer Program Society and Global Relations Korea and World Politics -Uk Heo Professor, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee International Scholar, KHU This course will explore Korean politics and international relations theories. Thus, it has two main parts. In the first half, we will briefly survey theories of world politics. Special attention will be given to different perspectives on international relations, foreign policy decision making, international security and international political economy in the context of globalization. Using this foundation, we will then discuss Korean politics, focusing on the transition to democracy and democratic consolidation, economic development and the financial crisis, the North Korean nuclear crisis and foreign relations with the US, China, and Japan. At the end of the class, students should have a good understanding of Korean politics and the country s foreign relations in the context of world politics. Chinese Politics and Foreign Policy -Jongpil Chung Professor, KHU Global Collaborative Academic Director -SUN Xue Feng Professor, Tsinghua University This course aims to provide students with a critical review on the evolution of Chinese politics and foreign policy since Previous knowledge about China is desirable, but not required. The first half of this class will provide an overview of the history, from 1949, and political system of China. We will familiarize ourselves with the major political events of contemporary China?the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and the recent reforms. We will also explore the political and economic structure of current China. In the second half, major events and issues involving Chinese foreign policy will be examined to identify and explain the sources of China s foreign policy goals and their implementation. We will apply theoretical concepts and approaches of international relations to the analysis of China s foreign policy, especially China s rise in the past decade. Students are encouraged to think critically and come up with the most compelling explanation basing on China s foreign behavior and international relations theory. Readings will be drawn from political science, history, and international relations theory. East Asian Security: New Dynamics and Power Relations -ZHU Feng Professor, Peking University Deputy Director, Center for International & Strategic Studies of Peking University This course describes the historical evolution of international security in the Asia-Pacific since the end of Second World War, and explore its Cold War derivation and analyzes fundamental elements and factors to underpin regional security in the Post-Cold War.

11 Challenges in Global Development: East Asia and the Dynamics of World Development -Richard Estes Professor, University of Pennsylvania President, International Society for Quality of Life Studies (ISQOLS) World social development has arrived at a critical turning point. Economically advanced nations have made significant progress toward meeting the basic needs of their populations; however, the majority of developing countries have not. Problems of rapid population growth, failing economies, famine, environmental devastation, majority/minority group conflicts, increasing militarization, financial destabilization, among other forces, are pushing many developing nations toward the brink of social chaos, i.e., a process referred to in this course as social implosion. This combined lecture and seminar course will expose students to the complex social, political, and economic forces that influence national and international patterns of development. Particular attention will be given to the development dilemmas confronting rich and poor nations alike with special attention given to development trends occurring within the East Asian region. As part of this course, students will be expected to undertake original research on a topic of central importance to understanding the dynamics of East Asian development vis-à-vis those of other world regions. Students also will be expected to present their interim and final results in class. The Role of Religion in International Development -Ram Cnaan Professor, University of Pennsylvania President, Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action Worldwide social development professionals are challenged to find new resources to meet the needs of residents and to solve social and environmental problems. While many social development concepts and ideological tenets are borrowed from world religions; social development professionals make little attempt to capitalize the power and resources of organized religion and harness it to serve people in need. This course will introduce students to understand religion in an organized manner and then will discuss the its role in social development in East Asia and globally. Many social development professionals are working under the auspices of, or in collaboration, with religious-based social service agencies. Yet, we have very little knowledge and understanding of the unique nature of these agencies. Historically, the dynamic tension between the two has prevented social work and religion from developing theories and practices that can be best utilized in the service of people in need. To date, religion has not been systematically integrated with social development education and practice. This course recognizes the need to train social development professionals to be leaders in shaping practice and policy as the religiousbased social development continues to expand. Students will gain conceptual knowledge about religion and the role of religion in modern society with a special focus on social devolvement. Students will be provided with knowledge regarding work in existing and newly formed religious-based social development organizations.

12 Global Collaborative Summer Program Globalisation and Contemporary Culture -Keith Tester Professor, University of Hull International Scholar, KHU -Joongbaeck Kim Professor, KHU This course explores the globalization of contemporary social, economic and cultural forms. It outlines the meaning of culture and globalization, and arguments will be illustrated through the example of what sociologists have called McDonaldization. The course will explore the meaning of McDonaldization and show how it globalizes aspects of social, economic and cultural life. Attention will be paid to the relationship of McDonaldization to economic development, ecology and global responsibility. The focus on how food is produced and consumed opens up the broader themes about culture and globalization which are explored in the second part of the course. Nature, Science and People Korean Medicine: The East Asian Healing Art -Byun Hee Koh Professor, KHU Former Director, International Society of Oriental Medicine Over thousands of years, Korea has preserved and developed its Traditional Medicine. There are various theories and treatment modalities for improving and maintaining our health in Traditional Korean Medicine. For example, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, herbal medicine and Sasang Constitutional Medicine etc. This class is prepared to understand the basics of its theory and learn how it works in daily practice. Throughout this lecture, students can learn and experience the ancient healing art in Korea. Environment, Science and Community -Andrew Pickering Professor, University of Exeter International Scholar, KHU -Peter Doran Professor, Queen s University of Belfast This course aims to explore the links between environment, science, and community in global contexts. It provides diverse theories and methods in environmental studies, the sociology of science and technology, and globalization studies to understand the emerging complex posthumanist world. Environmental theories and case studies cover a wide range of topics such as global climate change, green growth, sustainable consumption, energy use, and biodiversity conservation. Its science elements analyze the complex interactions among science, technology, and society. The course also addresses such topics as risk, human-animal interactions, the role of science and technology in sustainable development, global warming and science, and posthumanism. It will emphasize understanding and supporting policy decision-making processes as well as seeing the world from new environmental and posthuman perspectives. This course will be held as a synchronous lecture between Seoul Campus and Global Campus.
