Teaching

My teaching has spanned the fields of comparative politics, international political economy and methods. Following are some of my most recent syllabi.

• The International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (masters level, 2020). This course provides an overview of the IR of the Asia-Pacific, focusing both on the foreign policies of the major actors in East and South East Asia and functional issues such as the politics of economic integration and the military balance.

• The International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (undergraduate, 2019).

• Korean Security (masters level, 2020). This course provides an introduction to security issues around the Korean peninsula, with a particular focus on the period since the onset of the second nuclear crisis in 2002.

• Commercial Diplomacy (masters level, 2019). New issues in international political economy.

• Globalization (masters level, with Barry Naughton, 2018). An introductory course, co-taught with an economist, introducing the international political economy.

An introduction to qualitative methods for those interested in multi-method research, with a consideration of issues in contemporary philosophy of science, within-case and comparative designs and the varieties of qualitative data.

• World Poverty (undergraduate, 2016). For nearly ten years, I taught a large introduction to world poverty, looking at issues of conceptualization and measurement, functional questions such as rural poverty, access to water, and urban issues, as well as the role of international actors.
