EASTASN 117: Health and Healthcare Systems in East Asia (EASTASN 217)

This course will discuss population health and healthcare systems in contemporary China, Japan, and Korea (north and south), in comparative perspective with other health systems. Using primarily the lens of social science, especially health economics, we will analyze recent developments in East Asian health policy, in comparison to other health systems of the world. Topics include the social determinants of health, demographic transition and population aging, control of infectious and chronic non-communicable diseases, healthcare financing, health insurance, health service delivery, payment incentives, competition, pharmaceutical policy, long-term care, and regulation. Although some background in Asian Studies, economics, and/or global health will be useful, no prior knowledge of economics or health policy is expected or required.
Terms: Win | Units: 3-5

EASTASN 179: Rebalancing Economic Systems in a World Driven by Tech: Quality-of-Life in Socio-Cultural Context (EALC 179, EALC 279, EASTASN 279)

This course examines the need for, and approaches to, rebalancing models of innovation-driven economic growth in the broader context of society and sustainability. After an overview of the historical outcomes of previous industrial revolutions, we examine how trends toward increasing social inequality, tension between globalism and isolationism, and greater authoritarianism are exacerbated in the era of digital transformation, comparing different economic systems (e.g. China, India, Japan, and the U.S.) as realized in their socio-political and cultural contexts. We then discuss approaches toward rebalancing existing systems, including metrics for evaluating economic performance, in order to satisfy the imperatives of social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

EASTASN 181A: Innovation and Competitiveness: Perspectives from Asia (EASTASN 281A)

The course explores the determinants of competitiveness from a bottom up perspective. In other words, it probes the productivity and innovation potential of locations (nations. states, or cities) as rooted in the strategies and operating practices of locally?based firms, the vitality of agglomerations and clusters, and the quality of the business environment in which the enterprise action takes place. Drawing heavily from examples in Asian countries, the course examines both advanced and developing economies and addresses the competitiveness of nations, sub-national units such as states or provinces, and particular industrial agglomerations. The course also examines the role that coordination among countries plays in competitiveness. Consequently, the course is concerned not only with government policy but also with recent shifts in the dynamic interaction between policy and the roles that firms, industry associations, universities, and other institutions play in competitiveness and innovation, examining these topics both from theoretical and from practical perspectives.
