ASIAN 3306
The Philippines: History, Culture, and Politics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

The Philippines was the first country in Asia to foster a nationalistic insurrection, the only official colony of the United States (1898-1946), and is today Southeast Asia's only predominantly Catholic nation. Understanding the contemporary Philippines requires analysis of national development under Spanish, American and Japanese colonial regimes. Exploration of early globalization across the archipelago is important, but this must be juxtaposed against deeply ingrained indigenous cultural influences that continue to shape Philippine economic, political, and social life.
