Description:
| Bordertalk examines the historically turbulent relationship between two of the world’s giants, Russia and China. Today, this relationship is considered just as turbulent, as the two countries interact as trade partners (in energy, arms, and consumer goods) and compete for influence in resource-rich Central Asia. As the economy and political influence of each grows, the relationship between them will be of increasing importance to the West. In 2006, this is even more pressing as Russia and China take stands on their ambitious and potentially dangerous neighbor, North Korea. With Boardertalk, students will explore the history, economy, politics, and languages of both Russia and China. Course material is geared to provide a better understanding of the volatile relationship and the resultant cultural issues played out each day in cities such as Irkutsk - and at the higher levels of business and the national governments. | |
