This course examines the current crisis on the Korean Peninsula through historical and diplomatic practitioners’ perspectives. Politically, the strategic interests of major powers intersect on the Korean Peninsula; in a place China long felt part of its sphere of influence, the United States now maintains a military presence. Drawing on original diplomatic documents and other source materials, as well as first-hand experience of current-day diplomats, this course will consider the trajectory of the two Koreas’ relationships with the United States and China and their role in the international politics of East Asia. <a href="https://jh.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=438aa0d8-0033-4ec2-8179-a872013f7994" target="_blank">Click here to see a video introduction for the course.</a> <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
