> Date Submitted: 2011-11-14
> Announcement ID: 189758
>
> ICIRD 2012 will bring together various concerned groups,
> multi-disciplinary scholars and graduate researchers, as well as
> activists, state and non-state actors, NGOs, development workers, regional
> institutions and fellow citizens and non-citizens, in order to discuss the
> prospects and challenges for plans to move towards an ASEAN Economic
> Community, as well as some of the contradictory ideas being proposed. The
> outcomes of the conference will help foster a wider and deeper
> understanding of the AEC, plus help inform the public, and prepare people
> for the changes ahead and to cope with any unforeseen consequences.
>
> According to the Bali Concord II, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)
> should become an integrated economic area by 2015, brought forward from
> the previous target of 2020. Although ASEANs vision has the community
> underpinned by three pillar institutions, namely the ASEAN Economic
> Community (AEC), the ASEAN Security Community (ASC) and the ASEAN
> Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC), much emphasis has been placed on the
> prospective growth in economic development and trade in the region.
> Supporters of this single market and single production base idea have been
> active within the concerned state agencies, especially the Ministries of
> Foreign Affairs and Commerce and their equivalents. A number of academic
> institutions and experts on economic development, international relations
> and regional economic integration have also come out in defense and
> support of the move towards an AEC, citing the benefits to be gained by
> the nations involved. However, concerns about and criticisms of this move
> have started to circulate among scholarly activists, non-state actors,
> NGOs, local and transnational civil societies.
>
> Points of concern with regard to development issues include regional
> disparities, uneven development, the impacts of large-scale infrastructure
> development on sustainable livelihoods, the enclosure of local resources,
> new forms of resource governance and accumulation by dispossession. With
> regard to international governance, the roles of state and non-state
> actors have been questioned in terms of the issues of democratization,
> privatization, participation, people-centered governance and transnational
> mobility and regulations, and on the human rights front, concerns have
> been raised regarding the rights of non-citizens, identity crises, health,
> food safety, sovereignty, feminization of labor and non-traditional
> security. It is clear these uncertainties and unresolved issues need to be
> addressed before the AEC becomes institutionalized. Needless to say, the
> larger economic conglomerations are already talking about an AEC plus one,
> three and even six, as the presence of China in particular, is already
> being felt around the region.
>
> Objectives: 1. To provide a deeper and more rounded understanding of
> regional development under the AEC;
> 2. To challenge the premise of economic integration and trade
> liberalization;
> 3. To examine the human landscape and humanization of development; and
> 4. To offer a forum for concerns to be heard and tackled seriously.

>
> Beijing Center Program Overview
> IES Abroad Beijing has two programs: the Contemporary Issues Program (CIP)
> and the Language Intensive Program (LIP).
>
> The Contemporary Issues Program (CIP) is designed for undergraduates with
> varying levels of Chinese language proficiency. It emphasizes an area
> studies curriculum and is structured as a "block" program (one block is
> 3.5 weeks in length), with a total of 3 blocks plus a 2-credit
> introductory course The instructor for every course is expected to teach
> four to five morning classes every week during the block (about 16-17
> classes total). Each class is 2.5 hours in length.
>
> The Language Intensive Program (LIP) is designed for students with
> demonstrated Chinese language proficiency. It is structured as a
> semester-long program with students taking two area study courses in
> addition to their daily language instruction. Each course meets for a
> total of 12 weeks. The instructor for every course is expected to teach
> three hours (2 X 1.5-hour sessions) in the afternoons every week during
> the semester.
>
> Currently, we seek are seeking qualified instructors for spring 2012
> courses on Chinese foreign policy, the economy of China, and Tibetan
> Studies.
>
> Foreign Policy of China
> Language Intensive Program
> Class meets twice/week for 1.5 hours/session from February 6 until May 4,
> 2012
> This course examines and analyzes Chinas foreign relations, focusing
> primarily on the post-Cold War period. The course starts by looking at
> the domestic sources (e.g. cultural, historical, ideological and political
> factors and key decision makers) of Chinese foreign policy. It then
> examines Chinese foreign policy behavior in the area of economics, global
> governance and security. The last part of the course examines the various
> regional and bilateral dynamics of Chinas foreign relations with special
> attention paid to U.S.-China relations and Chinas relations with Asia.
> Upon conclusion of the course, students will be able to provide
> sophisticated and well-researched commentary to the ongoing debate of the
> role a growing China will play in future world affairs.
>
> The course also seeks to develop certain skills through various
> assignments such as student presentation and the NIE estimate. These
> skills include summarizing and analyzing sources by identifying their
> thesis and supporting arguments, forecasting the future of bilateral
> relationships by drawing on relevant written sources, oral presentation
> and teamwork.

> experiential learning format in which students combine readings with
> seminar discussions and ethnographic field work in order to write an

> mobile seminar with extended class meetings that combine lectures with
> discussion. In addition to covering basic historical, cultural, and social
> background we will question ways in which historiography, nationhood, and
> modernity affect contemporary Tibetan life. The methodological emphasis
> concentrates on interpreting specific and personal encounters, incidents,
> and observations in the context of background material. Students will
> consult individually with the instructor to pursue a focus that will build
> into the final presentation and paper.
>
> The course demands full participation from all students. The first week in

> discussions by students. In addition, there will extensive informal

> and (optional) evening film sessions during travel time. The final days in
> Beijing will be structured so as to allow students to focus on their

> Compensation

> Compensation will be a stipend commensurate with the scholar's academic
