Abstract

The course “Russia in East Asia: New Opportunities and Challenges in the XXI Century” reveals the meaning, significance and difficulties of Russia's Pivot to Asia as a natural process of increasing activity both in the Russian Far East and in Asia-Pacific region as a whole. The course contains an analysis of the existing relations between Russia and states of this region. The course examines the key issues of modern history, economy and culture of East Asian countries, shows their specifics, highlights the evolution of Russia's international relations with these countries, and analyzes the contradictions and obstacles encountered along the way. The main focus is on political relations, economic cooperation and cultural interaction between Russia and the leading East Asian countries - China, Japan and the Republic of Korea. Also, attention is paid to the analysis of interaction and prospects for the development of cooperation with the ASEAN countries, as well as with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. One of the most important areas of research within this course is the rapid change in the balance of trade and economic activities between Russia and countries that are supporting the sanctions, and countries that have sharply increased trade with Russia - primarily China.The course is aimed at studying the institutional systems of East Asian countries and comparing them with Russian realities in order to more accurately determine the points of intersection of mutual interests, opportunities, as well as assess the challenges, origins of conflicts and disagreements on a number of issues. At the same time, the course examines a number of aspects of Russian participation in international regional organizations and forums. The course demonstrates the existing possibilities for a serious strengthening of Russia's positions in the Asia-Pacific region due to more active involvement in the international division of labor and increased cooperation with countries of the region that is becoming a powerful political and economic pole.Pre-requisitesTo pass the course, students must first successfully master the following courses:· Introduction to Economics;· Introduction to International Relations;· World History and History of International Relations;· New History of East Asia.
