More on the [[Talk:Student_Projects:IT_Abroad_EastAsia#Discussion_to_finalize_Project_Topic.2FScope|Discussion]] page.
For now, the subject of the project is left intentionally vague.  As more people join and we'll negotiate a final project topic (based on interests and the availability of source material) that falls inside the overall spectrum of IT issues in East Asia. The ideas below give some idea of the project direction.  In general, the question to be resolved is whether the emphasis should be placed on issues involving one paricular nation in East Asia, or whether the emphasis should involve an issue that affects the region in general.  There should be some overlap given either choice, as the discussion concerning one particular nation would probably need to include a sub-discussion on its relationship with the rest of the region.

* '''Profile of <nation>'s IT ecosystem''': How does culture, level of development, political structure, broader industrial policy affect <nation>'s IT ecosystem.  Who were/are the major players (IT firms, Universities, Bureaucracies, scientists, etc.) involved in IT development, and what are the next developments likely to be?  Of particular interest are the ways in which <nation>'s policies and practices differ from the United States, and if there is anything that can be learned or applied from <nation>'s model.  Also of interest is <nation>'s ecosystem in relation to the broader global community. <nation> might be...

How does China's conception of intellectual property differ from that of the U.S. and what are the implications?
