课程简介

课程名称:地缘政治风险的根源:韩国-日本-南中国海 概述:本课程旨在探讨韩国、日本及南中国海地区的地缘政治风险,分析这些国家之间潜在的历史冲突以及近年来的紧张局势。随着全球许多未解决的历史冲突因近期事件而愈发明显,该课程特别关注这一地区在过去一个世纪所经历的冲突和变化。Living Law®采用法律作为分析历史与现代地缘政治之间关系的框架,强调法律与文化的相互影响。 韩国经历了漫长的军事统治后,逐步走向民主,然而其存在及区域和平依赖于北方邻国——朝鲜的动向。日本作为曾经世界第二大经济体,其20世纪的历史仍在影响着今天的局势,面对朝鲜导弹威胁,日本的军事态度正面临重新审视。越南则是一个在经历了数十年冲突后,其经济快速转型,创造了繁荣,但其政治权力结构仍保持不变。 该课程还将探讨所谓“远东”的动态对全球的影响,尤其是与美国的关系,它拥有与韩国和日本的相互防卫条约,并在该地区驻有大量军队。此外,南中国海的资源争夺战正在日益加剧,中国对该地区的全权声索与邻国的争执,引发了针对海洋法及国际法律规范的法律诉讼,从而使熟悉这一地区的历史和政治动态显得尤为重要。 通过本课程,学员将能够更好地理解当今关于自然资源争夺的新闻,并为可能的冲突做好准备。

If you are reading this page, you may be curious why there is a new Udemy course focusing on these particular countries. (Or perhaps you landed here by mistake, in which case, please read on nonetheless!). The reason is rather straightforward. Across our planet there are many latent, unresolved, historical conflicts which have become more acute due to recent events.Perhaps nowhere is this more true than in the region under review in this course, which has seen more than its share of conflict and change in the past century. Living Law®'s approach to analysing the impact of history on today's geopolitical situation is to use the law as a frame of reference. Law reflects culture and culture drives law. Each of the three nations investigated here has its own legal system reflecting its recent history and current political reality.The Republic of Korea has pursued a democratic form of government following a long period of military rule. Yet its very existence, along with peace in the region, depends on developments in its neighbour to the north, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Japan, for years the second largest economy in the world, still bears the imprint of its 20th century history. Unquestioning subservience to the Emperor has given way to a constitutional monarchy and a legal commitment to pacifism. Current headlines, particularly related to North Korean missiles fired over Japanese territory, highlight how heightened threats are causing Japanese leaders to rethink their stance on its military. Our final destination on this trip is Vietnam, a nation whose name was synonymous with conflict and war for several decades. Vietnam has undergone an economic transformation similar to China, creating prosperity for millions, but (also like China) without altering its fundamental political power structures.What makes the dynamics of the so-called "Far East" (a Western-centric term) relevant for all of us is the potential for conflict and the risk of other nations being pulled into that conflict. First and foremost this means the United States, which for decades has had mutual defence treaties with both South Korea and Japan. The US still has thousands of troops stationed in the region under legal treaties which resulted from that conflict and these treaties are revisited periodically. A number of recent events at the time of course creation have made familiarity with the history and political dynamics of this region more important than ever. One event whose significance grows by the day is the competition for the resources of the South China Sea. China claims the entirety of this area as its own, a stance which is disputed by its neighbours. This dispute already triggered legal proceedings focused on the Law of the Sea and other international legal norms, a topic we cover in the section on Vietnam. By taking the course you should be able to make better sense of today's headlines in what many fear will be an inevitable conflict over rights to natural resources embedded in this corner of the planet.#Korea #Japan #Vietnam #South China Sea
