Asia in the Global Context - ASN101

This unit aims to build students’ broad and fundamental appreciation of the diversity, hybridity, positioning and interaction of Asian countries in the globe. The unit facilitates a sophisticated understanding of the increasingly relevant and influential role played by 21st century Asia in a global context, and builds an inter-disciplinary platform for further study of other specific areas. A wide range of issues, which make up today’s Asia, will be analysed from political, economic, historical, socio-cultural and religious perspectives. Interactions among students from widely diverse background will maximise opportunities to broaden intercultural awareness of Asia and to nurture engagement with the beliefs, values and activities of other cultures in our closely inter-related globe.
