Beyond Europe and Beyond Trade: Germany’s Changing Endgame in China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam

This upper division course looks at Germany’s storied engagements with China, Japan, Vietnam, and South Korea since the founding of the German Empire in 1871 through to Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative at the onset of the twenty-first century. We will explore Germany’s colonial settlement in China and its role in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion, the influence of German culture, broadly understood, during the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the economic ties with South Korea during the Cold War and East and West Germany’s varied approaches to Vietnamese immigration. Through a study of historical documents as well as cultural artifacts Beyond Europe and Beyond Trade traces the evolution of Germany’s economic, territorial, political, and cultural ambitions in Asia from the late nineteenth-century to the global present and asks how and why Germany’s ties with Asia have evolved from colonial settler policies to soft power economics and cultural exchange in the present time. We will conclude the course by looking at the reversal of power dynamics between Germany and Asia and the impact of global Asia’s economic might in Germany and in the European Union more broadly.

**For students taking this course as a German 101 class, the texts will be in German.
