Interactions with and movements in Japan accelerated the so-called ‘globalisation’ in East Asia, thereby altering the trajectory of the modern world, alongside a range of modern crises. With reference to modern Japanese history, it first explores the economic, cultural, and political interactions between East Asia and the West in the framework of Japan as an axis, and examines Japan’s modernisation and its impact on the reactions of East Asia to imperialism. It covers topics in Japanese history from the late Tokugawa period to present days. This course provides the overview of the transnational histories of modern and contemporary Japan in East Asia within both local and global contexts, alongside humanitarianism.
