The encounters between East and West in East Asia in the early modern era 03-F-EWEA

This course explores the 1300–1800 period before China's decline, when the country was viewed by the Europeans as a leading world culture and power. Europe, by
contrast, was in the early stages of emerging from provincial to international status. It explores how that earlier era, interestingly, contains more relevance for today than the more recent past. The lectures drive on a wealth of recent research on SinoWestern history.
