I need a topic for my East Asian International Relations course!

And I know nothing about the area!  If anyone has particular subjects that they find interesting pertaining to Asia and IR, I would love to hear them.  No actual topics, obviously, I don’t want to use someone’s ideas directly, but if you happen to know of an interesting field… that would be cool.

Right now, I’m considering:

  • China should step up and become a major power in the world order (and in Asia (East and West))
  • China should enter into a G2 with the US
  • Something about Japan’s economic relationship with China
  • Something about China taking a harder line in re: NK’s nuclear weapons
