Course Description
This course specializes in the study of one of the most intriguing sets of bilateral relations in East Asia: Sino-Japanese relations. The overall theoretical approach of the course is interdisciplinary in nature and draws heavily from the disciplines of history and international relations. The course examines contemporary Sino Japanese relations broadly conceived; introduces topics by means of broad survey lectures, and various controversial topics within this set of bilateral relations; and examines the following themes from the perspective of Sino Japanese relations: legacy of history (e.g., textbook writing, disposal of chemical weapons, wartime apologies), nationalism and identity, the Pinnacles (Senkaku/Diaoyu) Islands dispute, the Taiwan issue, the Korean Peninsula crisis and the competition for energy sources between China and Japan.

Course Description
This course explores and evaluates early Chinese philosophers' answers to questions of morals, ethics, philosophy, and psychology as presented in selected early Chinese philosophical texts related to people's nature, motivation, moral cultivation, moral reasoning, and action. Topics discussed include: people's typical moral dispositions; morally relevant features of people's nature (xing); the role of the heart (xin) in guiding action; the role of desire, emotion, and normative judgment in motivation and action; methods of moral education and training; the nature and function of virtue; and the structure of action. The course focuses on four major texts—Mozi, Mengzi, Xunzi, and Zhuangzi —and devotes much attention to how these texts criticize and respond to each other's views. Comparisons and contrasts with major Western thinkers such as Aristotle, Hume, and Kant are drawn.

Course Description
This is an introductory course to macroeconomics. It covers business cycles in a closed economy, aggregate fluctuation in an open economy, and economic growth (if time permits). This course deals with theory, data, and economic policies to develop a balanced perspective on the real-world economic environment. We begin with defining major macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, price level, and unemployment rate. Then we investigate how the goods and money markets move in the short run (IS-LM). Building on the IS-LM model, we include the labor market in the analysis to derive the AS-AD model for the medium run. We further extend the model to an open economy by bringing trade and exchange rates into the framework. Finally, we study the long run trends in output, i.e., economic growth.

Course Description
Any consideration of global citizenship is incomplete without an examination of migration as part of the contemporary world. This course provides an introductory understanding of immigrant entrepreneurs. To understand the operation of immigrant entrepreneurs, we first discuss the general theories of immigrant adaptation. The theoretical framework for understanding migration ranges from the classic Chicago School to the recent institutional approach to migration. We then explore how immigrant entrepreneurship is related to the adaptation and survival strategies taken by immigrants. We focus on how immigrant resources to start their businesses and their impact to ethnic communities. The course also examines policies governing immigration and their impact on global citizenship. Students have an option to visit Taiwan and learn about immigrants and social entrepreneurship there.
