課程簡述 This course aims to provide students with a systematic understanding of geopolitical competition across the Eurasian continent. It examines the formation, evolution, and transformation of regional power configurations through the dual lenses of great power rivalry and the strategic choices of small and medium-sized states. As the largest landmass and the most populous region in the world, Eurasia has long been the central arena of global power politics. Consequently, analyzing shifts in power relations across Eurasia is essential for comprehending broader changes in the international system and the contemporary global order.

The course adopts a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from geopolitics, international security, and regional studies. Through historical analysis and contemporary case studies, students will explore how geopolitical competition unfolds in different sub-regions of Eurasia and how interactions among major powers and regional actors shape patterns of cooperation, conflict, and security governance.

學習評量方式
This course is jointly taught by three instructors, each of whom is responsible for a specific thematic component of the course. Students are expected to comply with the course policies, academic standards, and instructional requirements established by each instructor throughout the semester. Active engagement in class discussions, seminars, and related learning activities is strongly encouraged, as meaningful participation constitutes an essential part of the learning process.

Student assessment will be based on two components: class participation (50%) and a final written assignment (50%). Upon the completion of each instructor’s teaching segment, all enrolled students are required to submit a written report of no more than 1,000 words. These reports collectively constitute the final paper requirement and are intended to evaluate students’ understanding of the course materials, their analytical abilities, and their capacity to synthesize theoretical and empirical insights presented during the course.
