The course will start with the analysis of the emergence of East Asia, exploring the so-called East Asian political and economic development model, its strengths and shortcomings. Then we will analyze the political developments and their characteristics of the main East Asian countries and areas, focusing on Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, China. The third part will discuss the Asian style democracy and its future.

References All references and notes should be sequentially numbered and placed at the bottom of the page or the end of the text. Indicate the place in the text with superscript numerals. References should take the following form: First citation: Peter Calvert, Revolution (London, Pall Mall, 1970), pp.7-8 John Dunn, Revolution, in Terence Ball, James Farr, Russel L. Hanson (eds.), Political Innovation and Conceptual Change (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press,1986), pp.333-56 Vernon F.

Possible starting points include interpretations of the German problem, for example by Harold James. 1 Alternatively, one can begin with the standard biographies of Adolf Hitler. 2 At a later stage it will be necessary to consult the more specialized literature on, for example, the evolution of Hitler s foreign policy. These studies will throw light upon our general understanding of Hitler. Thus, Stokes points out that Hitler s foreign policy was guided by a more coherent Weltanschauung than was once assumed. 3 Elsewhere he emphasizes the need to place Hitler in the context of other Nazis. 4 There are also collections of primary sources on various aspects of the period, including some available on the internet. 5 At the end of the day, however, it is the demonic figure of Adolf Hitler who will continue to fascinate students of the period. 6 1.
