| EAS5157 | International Cooperation in East Asia | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | East Asian Studies | English | Yes |
| The objective of this course is to understand the establishment and policy directions of international organizations designed to promote economic cooperation and development, such as the ODA (Official Development Assistance), and explore international relations in East Asia. A variety of topics, including concerted efforts by different nations to address the problem of poverty, effective international cooperation through multi-level ODA, and international efforts to enhance East Asia's welfare and credit-worthiness, will be examined through a wide array of existing research and debate. A thorough knowledge of international cooperation will serve as the basis of achieving a balanced understanding of Korea's place in the international order and of East Asian international relations more generally. | |||||||||
| EAS5158 | Politics and Thought in Modern and Contemporary East Asia | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | East Asian Studies | - | No |
| Politics and thought in modern and contemporary East Asia developed through so many transformations of traditional systems. In this process, the importation of Western ideas played a crucial role. The course will analyze and seek to illuminate political culture in East Asia, beginning with the history of how various philosophies and ways of thinking originating in the West found their new homes across the ocean. | |||||||||
| ERP4001 | Creative Group Study | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master | - | No | ||
| This course cultivates and supports research partnerships between our undergraduates and faculty. It offers the chance to work on cutting edge research—whether you join established research projects or pursue your own ideas. Undergraduates participate in each phase of standard research activity: developing research plans, writing proposals, conducting research, analyzing data and presenting research results in oral and written form. Projects can last for an entire semester, and many continue for a year or more. SKKU students use their CGS(Creative Group Study) experiences to become familiar with the faculty, learn about potential majors, and investigate areas of interest. They gain practical skills and knowledge they eventually apply to careers after graduation or as graduate students. | |||||||||

| GFP5020 | Inequality and Democracy | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Future Policy Studies | Korean | Yes |
| Why are some countries more egalitarian than others? Why were some countries able to develop more successfully than others? Is there a relationship between egalitarianism, development, and democracy? In answering these questions, this course explores the connections between politics and markets. Through readings, lectures, discussions, and assignments, we will examine how politics shape domestic economies and how the economic configurations of these societies influence politics. On each selected topic in the field of political economy, the course will survey the main chronologies of related research on the given topic, combining both seminar and contemporary research. Although many of the theories and empirical cases examined in the class derive from the experience of advanced industrial economies, we will also examine the extent to which the ways we think about political economy apply to middle and low-income economies. | |||||||||
| GFP5021 | International Security-Theory and Practice | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Future Policy Studies | - | No |
| This course introduces main theoretical debates and contemporary issues in international security. It begins with key texts on war causes, levels of warfare and military effectiveness. In understanding theoretical concepts and debates, the course examines various wars of the 20th century as case studies, exploring why these wars occurred, participants’ military strategy and performance, and why they ended the way they did. The following section covers selected traditional topics in security studies, ranging from alliances, deterrence and coercion, nuclear proliferation, military innovation, and civil wars. Students will read key texts of each topic as well as optional readings, and critically engage on how, why, when, and to whom these issue-areas affect international security. The last part of the course addresses two emerging topics—psychological approaches to security studies and maritime security. Here, the focus is on identifying key ideas, debates, and questions of the new topics and producing informed judgment about their likely impact in the future theory and practice. Throughout the course, students are tasked to write an independent research paper—either as a manuscript draft or a research proposal—and would schedule at least one individual consultation to discuss research paper topic, literature review, and research design. There will be one research presentation session to share students’ research progress and receive feedback before they finalize the | |||||||||
