The main goal of this course is to discuss the Cold War in Asia and to explain how during the 20th century the US and USSR conflict transformed and polarised the relations between the Asian countries. The course emphasises the role of Asian nations in this balancing between the two blocs, and the consequences they had to face. During the seminar, we will further discuss the fundamental ideologies and crucial moments of the Cold War in Asia, as well as the political and geostrategic motivation of individual actors. From a geographical point of view, the course content primarily focuses on South, Southeast and East Asia.
