-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The political landscape of Asia has by custom been studied in terms of country-specific research. Long before the term “globalization” was coined, UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus Robert Scalapino’s career was marked by the broad sweep of his perspective. As part of his mission, Scalapino founded the Institute of East Asian Studies, where the study of region-wide comparative politics, together with other disciplines, could be pursued. Scalapino, who gained the ear of presidents, premiers, and politicians across Asia and beyond, now celebrates his 90th birthday.
Former students, now formidable figures in their own right, return to UC Berkeley to pay tribute to their former teacher through a panel on critical concerns in Asian affairs:
George T. Yu: "Reflections on China's African Policy"
Chongsik Lee: "Education of Pak Chunghee: A Preliminary Report"
Han Sung-Joo: "Among the Strangers: Korea and the Outside World"
Political Science Professor Hong Yung Lee will comment on the significance of Robert Scalapino's career, and act as discussant. History Professor Wen-hsin Yeh will moderate the discussion.
