Dear RRAP101 participant

Welcome to Week 4 on Historical overview of Europeans in Asia and the Pacific.

These instructions are published online for independent, self study learners. If you have just joined us, you will find copies of the instructions for the previous weeks on the course site.

Historical overview of Europeans in Asia and the Pacific

The underlying value positions that reinforced the pattern of European interaction in Asia and the Pacific have included primitivism, progressivism, Christianity, geographic determinism and finally, scientific empiricism. Some of these value positions still sometimes influence, to varying degrees, contemporary interactions in the region. Therefore, it is important that we identify, examine and evaluate the perceptions held by Europeans in the region, in both historical and contemporary times.
