Japan in World Politics 01 TANAKA, Takahiko １年以上英語 2 −English


This course discusses the historical development of Japan's foreign relations since 1853 to the present. Its focus will be placed upon interrelationsbetween Japanese international behaviours and the transformation of international political system surrounding Japan. Japan opened its door to theoutside world in the mid 19th century. The form and international behaviours of Japan as a modern nation-state was shaped in accordance with itspolitical and diplomatic leaders' perception about the international political system. But one can often find out clear gaps between the perceptionand the reality of international system. The gaps have played a very significant role to decide outcomes of Japan's diplomacy. Within thisframework, we shall explore some historical patterns of Japan's international behaviours and attempt to grasp some hints to understanding them atthe present.


Attendants are expected to obtain the basic historical knowledge about Japan's foreign relations and its experience of success and failure, and tolearn the significance of understanding the reality of international surroundings.

Japanese Political History 01 MIDDLETON, Benjamin Dugald １年以上英語 2 −English


This course traces the making of modern Japan from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. We will study both the history of Japanesepolitics, and the changing ways that scholars and political actors have viewed Japanese political processes. No prior knowledge of Japanese politics,society or history is required for this course, which will be taught in English.The course will proceed chronologically. Every week we will discuss key issues in political economy from late-Edo to mid-Showa. The focus will

not only be on domestic political transformation, but also on broader geo-strategic issues. We will first examine the background and causes ofJapan's modern revolution, before moving on to examine political forces, institutions and culture in the new Meiji state. After considering theemergence of Imperial Japan as a constitutional monarchy under the emperor as head of an empire, we will analyze the demise of the Meiji systemand the emergence of a new political culture that is often called‘Taisho Democracy.’The effects of financial crises and breakneck economicdevelopment will also be addressed. Next, we will take up the question of the drift to militarism and the emergence of a‘total war system’of socialand political organization in the 1930s. Finally, we will consider Japan's reemergence from the ashes of WWII and the continuities and changes fromthe wartime to the postwar.Class sessions will generally consist of a lecture followed by a brief video screening and then a class discussion. Short in-class student

presentations on a topic related to the course will be scheduled during the second half of the term. Depending on enrollment, this may be either anindividual or group presentation. To encourage research into political issues, students are also required to write a term report.


１．Develop students' knowledge of Japanese political history.２．Develop students' awareness of methodological issues in political analysis.３．Develop students' ability to analyze historical and political issues.４．Develop students' ability to discuss political issues in English.

Japanese Economic History 01 GARSIDE, William １年以上英語 2 −English


This course provides an advanced survey of Japanese economic history. It focuses upon the sources and characteristics of Japan's experience ofgrowth, decline and economic renewal since the end of the Second World war down to recent times. In doing so, it examines in depth some of theprincipal characteristics of‘Japan Inc.’as perceived byWestern observers. It outlines the contemporary rationale of policy choices and objectives.In addition it examines the extent to which changing national and international events suggested the need for adaptations in policy and the extentto which Japan succeeded and failed to implement necessary changes. The consequences for economic prosperity and stability in the years afterthe high-growth period are examined in detail.


Students will be introduced to competing arguments over the sources and nature of Japan's high-growth experience and to the contentiousdebate over the relative roles of the state and the market in transforming the economy from wartime defeat into a powerhouse of economic activitydown to the 1970s. Thereafter, a close examination will be made of the components of earlier policy and the extent to which pre-1970s experienceaffected the ability of the country to adapt to changing national and international pressures thereafter.

Introduction to Contemporary Political Analysis 01 KOHNO, Masaru １年以上英語 2 −English


This course is designed as an overview of political science and as an introductory survey of important contemporary theories and analyses in thefield. Students will learn basic concepts（such as“power,”“democracy,”and“sovereignty”）, problems associated with defining and measuringthese concepts（“How do we know bureaucrats are more powerful than politicians?”“How can we be sure that Japan is more democratic thanChina?”）, some historical backgrounds of these concepts（“Where does the sovereign state system come from?”）, and various ways to thinkabout causal relationship between them（“Does economic growth promote democratization?”“Is the world safer, if more nation-states are engagedin international trade?”）. Political science is a broad field and therefore it is impossible to survey everything in a single term course. The course,however, will cover various topics and draw concrete examples from the subfields of Japanese politics, comparative politics, and internationalrelations, and thus serves as the starting point of all other advanced lectures and seminars in political science.


Students will learn central concepts used in the discipline of contemporary political science, and will aquire basic knowledge about variousinfluential studies and analyses in the subfields.

Introduction to Contemporary Political Theory 01 BOOT, Martijn １年以上英語 2 −English


INTRODUCTION

The course is an introduction to central concepts of normative political theory. Students will have the opportunity to study important issues, such as・political authority and its limits・the tension between state authority and personal autonomy・strengths and weaknesses of（different kinds of）democracy・distributive justiceWe will discuss major schools of thought in normative political philosophy, such as・utilitarianism・liberalism・communitarianism・libertarianism・pluralism・multiculturalismWe will especially concentrate on contemporary problems of political philosophy, but - in order to better understand modern political-

philosophical controversies - we will also pay attention to the historical roots and development of some central ideas and their divergentinterpretations. For instance, we cannot fully understand the different versions of liberalism and some paradoxical characteristics of democracy ifwe do not know the different conceptions of liberty, autonomy and authority in relation to historical developments.TEACHING

The course is taught by means of 15 weekly 1.5 hour seminars. During each seminar I will present a lecture. The students receive a syllabus thatcontains the texts of my lectures. All students will be expected to prepare for each class by reading the required literature mentioned in thesyllabus. They are also expected to take part in the discussions. Interaction between students and teacher is highly appreciated and encouraged.Attendance at classes is compulsory and a record of attendance will be kept.ESSAYS

Each student must submit one essay of up to 2500 words by the end of the course.PRESENTATIONS

Students will volunteer in giving a brief presentation in one of the seminars. During this presentation the student tries to work out and to answerone of the discussion questions that will be mentioned under each seminar in the definitive version of the schedule, which will be handed out inclass. The student who gives the presentation has to make references to the required reading and has to pay close attention to the argumentspresented in it. The student is strongly encouraged to refer to and take into consideration views and arguments mentioned in one or more optionaltexts as well. It is appreciated if the student proposes further questions or introduces different points of view over the answers found in the texts.Students are required to have done at least one presentation by the end of the course. The number of presentations per week will depend on thenumber of students taking the class. The presentations are not essays. They are merely meant to introduce the issues briefly. They can becontroversial and may form the basis of the essay to be written.SCHEDULE

The course will be divided in three main parts:１．Government. This part investigates the question why we need a government and whether there is a single right or superior kind ofgovernment. We will discuss the limits of political authority and the strengths and weaknesses of（different versions of）democracy.

２．Liberalism and communitarianism. We will study two fundamentally different kinds of liberalism and their relation to different concepts ofliberty. As a starting point we will take John Stuart Mill's view on liberty. We will discuss the communitarian criticism on liberalism.

３．Distributive justice. We will first concentrate on the answer utilitarianism gives to the question how to distribute welfare. Next we willdiscuss some objections to the utilitarian approach and John Rawls's critical answer to it in A Theory of Justice.

In the last seminar of the course we will draw a conclusion about the significance of normative political theory.


１．To study key concepts in political theory such as political authority, legitimacy, autonomy, liberalism and democracy.２．To provide students with a good understanding of the main issues and controversies in contemporary political theory.３．To develop critical, original and balanced judgments.４．To develop skills in discussing and writing about political-philosophical questions.

Political Process 01 TANAKA, Aiji １年以上英語 2 −English


This course tries to provide basic knowledge of contemporary Japanese politics and tries to describe how politics works in today's Japan.However, this course is neither intended to offer journalistic view of contemporary Japanese politics nor to follow what going on everyday inJapan's political arena. Instead, this course tries to offer the basic scope and method to look at contemporary Japanese politics from academicperspectives of political science. In other words, through this course（through my lectures）I will try to teach three points. First, I want you to learnhow you should look at contemporary Japanese politics and understand structure of those political phenomena. Second, you should understand thedifference between journalistic approach to contemporary Japanese politics that basically follows what is going on everyday in the central politicalcommunity of Japan, namely“Nagata-cho”, and academic approach to contemporary Japanese politics that tries to explain how and why thosepolitical phenomena happened. Third, therefore, I wish to teach you how to explain why those political phenomena happened, namely to explain thecausal relationship between several causal factors and political phenomenon that you are interested in.


You should understand basic structure of contemporary Japanese politics. And, hopefully you should demonstrate your understanding ofcontemporary Japanese politicas.

Introduction to International Relations 01 KUNIYOSHI, Tomoki １年以上英語 2 −English


The course is an introductory survey of international relations in the modern world. Its aim is to give a basic grounding in the history of 20thcentury international relations, and to demonstrate that there are many competing theoretical models for understanding its various dimensions.The course is particularly designed to show that to arrive at a proper understanding of specific international events, it is important not just to studythe role of individual decision-makers and domestic factors, but also to appreciate the nature of the international system of the time. The purpose ofthe course is to prepare students for a further study of International Relations（IR）, and also to provide students from other academic disciplineswith a basic knowledge of IR, which will enable them to conceptualise the international dimensions of their own chosen subjects.Students will be required to engage critically with introductory literature on IR. Weekly classes will be based on preparatory reading for

discussion of basic concepts and various specific topics. These will include: the balance of power; interdependence; international security; foreignpolicy-making; the issue of ethics; problems of weapons of mass destruction; conflicts and international intervention; human rights; the role ofinternational organisations and of transnational actors.Classes are designed around an opening presentation given by two students. One student will summarise the assigned text; the second speaker

will then give answers to, and comments on, the discussion topics assigned for each class. A general discussion will then follow, and all students willbe expected to contribute.


This course has three main objectives:（ⅰ）To equip students with a basic knowledge of the theories and history of international relations;（ⅱ）To offer a firm basis for a more advanced study of any subjects in the broad area of international relations;（ⅲ）To provide some of the factual grounding and conceptual apparatus necessary to understand the contemporary world.

Introduction to Economics 01 VESZTEG, Robert Ferenc １年以上英語 4 週２回授業English 2 classes per week


Economics is a social science that studies the use of scarce resources to satisfy unlimited human wants. This introductory course covers the basicconcepts and theories of economic thought by presenting simple models of both micro- and macroeconomics. Microeconomics analyzes theinteractions of individual consumers（households）and producers（firms）in specific markets（e.g., markets for food items or apartments）.Macroeconomics focuses on economic problems at the aggregated（e.g., national）level. It examines the determination of important economicvariables, such as the level and rate of growth of output（gross domestic product）, the rate of inflation, the level of unemployment, as well as flowsof imports and exports and the balance of trade.


In order to gain some understanding of the real world where billions of people making trillions of economic decisions a year, economists buildsimple mathematical models to examine complex issues. The objective of this course is to learn how economics think and analyze economicproblems. A special emphasis will be put on analytic thinking as a practical tool that students can use in their further professional development.Mathematical skills beyond simple algebra and graphical analysis are not required in this course.

Introduction to Game Theory for Political Economy 01 VESZTEG, Robert Ferenc １年以上英語 2 −English


Game theory is a mathematical tool to study strategic interactions that has become a standard analytical tool in several academic disciplines, e.g.in economics, biology and also in political science. Whenever the choices made by two or more decision-makers have an effect on each others'welfare, the interaction between them is game-theoretic in nature. Such conflict situations that are relevant for political science include politicalelections, the international（nuclear）arms race, and the issue of the voluntary provision of public goods.


This course introduces the basic concepts of non-cooperative game theory in order to allow the student to analyze and solve simple problems.Besides the theory, also numerous applications along with empirical and experimental evidence will be discussed. Mathematical skills beyondsimple algebra and graphical analysis are not required in this course.

“Taking a course in experimental economics is a little like going to dinner at a cannibal's house. Sometimes you will be the diner, sometimes youwill be part of the dinner, sometimes both.”（Bergstrom and Miller）This course reviews some of the most important principles from microeconomics with the help of the experimental method. Students will not

only participate in classroom experiments, but will also actively participate in setting up those experiments and analyzing the collected data, i.e. theobserved behavior.


On one hand, the course introduces the experimental method to students who will gain experience both as experimental subjects and asexperimenters.On the other hand, the review of several important economic principles（while using a novel approach）will help students to deepen their

knowledge in economic theory.

During the spring term the class will focus on the topic of Japanese popular music up to the late 20th century, paying special attention to popularmusic as a mode of cultural expression. Two main aspects are involved. The first is to examine the lyrics of（and listen to）a number of well-knownpopular songs, analyzing both form and content and exploring the connections（if any）with traditional poetic expression. The second is to place thesongs in a historical and social context as a means of exploring the problem of cultural identity in modern Japan, including especially the role ofWestern influence. To bring this cultural aspect into even clearer focus, students will read a novel by Murakami Haruki -- Japan's best-sellingnovelist in English -- that characteristically relies upon Western pop music to help define its theme. Japanese-language ability is not automaticallyassumed, but a willingness to approach Japanese songs in the original is expected.


To explore the cultural ramifications of post-Meiji Japanese popular music.

Contemporary Japanese Politics 01 YOSHINO, Takashi ２年以上英語 2 −English


In Japan, politics is just in a transition period. The golden age or“the 1955 System,”in which Japan has enjoyed the political stability andeconomic prosperity, has been ended at the 1990s. Since then, Japan has suffered from many difficulties and has made efforts to find its way out ofthe traditional practices, such as the Liberal Democratic Party's predominant party system, bureaucrat-dominant policymaking, centrallycontrolled local self-government. This course intends to understand the traits of contemporary Japanese politics and its problems in terms oftransition.


The objective of this course is to get a better understanding of the present condition of Japanese politics, as well as the workings of its majorpolitical institutions（electoral syetem, the National Diet, and local governments）, behaviors of its major political actors（political parties, interestgroups, politicians, and bureaucrats）, and dynamics of its major public policies.

Law and Politics in Contemporary Japan 01 KAWAGISHI, Norikazu ２年以上英語 2 −English


This course will deal with fundamental issues of constitutional law in postwar Japan. Japan has had two written constitutions so far. One was theConstitution of the Empire of Japan, or the Meiji Constitution, which was promulgated on February 11, 1889, and put into effect on November 29,1890. The other is the Constitution of Japan, the current Constitution, which was promulgated on November 3, 1946, and became effective on May3, 1947. Unlike the Meiji Constitution, with its particularistic kokutai ideology, the current Constitution is based upon a universalistic principle ofgovernment as popular trust:“Government is a sacred trust of the people, the authority for which is derived from the people, the powers of whichare exercised by the representatives of the people, and the benefits of which are enjoyed by the people.”Popular sovereignty, due respect forfundamental human rights, and thorough pacifism are the most important principles in the postwar Japanese constitutional regime. How far havethe Japanese people carried out the national promise over the last 65 years?Topics will include comparison between two constitutional frameworks, judicial review and protecting rights, equality, religious freedom and

separation of religion and state, voting rights and the electoral process, freedom of expression, family law, and Article９and the peace state.


The goal of this course is to understand the basic constitutional framework in modern Japan and the constitutional practices of postwar Japan,and to attain insight into the challenges current Japanese society is faced with.

International Relations of Post-War Japan 01 KUNIYOSHI, Tomoki ２年以上英語 2 −English


This course is an introductory survey of post-war Japanese international relations, with particular emphasis on the development of the US-Japanalliance and the evolution of relations between Japan and its neighbouring Asian states. It begins with a study of the making of the San FranciscoSystem, and then concentrates on the major events that shaped the history of Japan up to the years after the Cold War. Through analysis andexplanation of historical events, particular efforts will be made to place those events which relate to Japan in the context of the transformation instructure of wider international relations. The course thereby aims to provide an historical grounding and the analytical perspectives necessary tounderstand the significant change which Japan currently faces in its political and international milieu.The course will consist mainly of weekly lectures. In order to stimulate students' thinking and, particularly, to encourage them to use their

learning in considering Japan's current foreign relations, there will also be one（or two）session devoted to debate. Apart from that, depending onthe numbers registered, students might engage in discussions rather than simply listening to a lecture. These might take the form of a question andanswer session after a short lecture or a seminar style discussion based on a reading assignment.


The course has five main objectives:(１）To equip students with a comprehensive knowledge of the international history of Japan since 1945, and to challenge the preconceptionssurrounding the course of Japan's foreign relations during the Cold War;

(２）To provide an empirical grounding and the conceptual apparatus necessary to understand the various problems and conditions which Japancurrently faces in its international relations;

(３）To offer a firm basis for more advanced historical and theoretical work in this area;(４）To demonstrate that to come to a proper understanding of a country's foreign policy, it is important to study both the broader internationalsystem of which it is a part and various domestic factors that drive policy-makers;

(５）To address a number of topical issues, at a time when the Japanese political environment is experiencing significant change; to stimulatestudents to develop their own evidence-based arguments on these issues by suggesting thought-provoking discussion questions on each topic.

History of Political Theory 01 YAMAOKA, Ryuichi ２年以上英語 4 週２回授業English 2 classes per week


In order to understand the tradition of political theorizing in the Western civilization, students will study some essential arguments by therepresentative theorists in this tradition. These theorists are considered to be representative in that their ideas were influential throughout bothintellectual and practical history in the West, and in that many of their ideas still constitute the arguments of modern contemporary political theory.Some minimal historical knowledge which is necessary to understand classical texts will be offered. However, much more emphasis will be made

on the critical interpretation of their arguments. This course aims to enable students to understand the practices of modern western politics andthe normative arguments or reflections over it.


The most important thing is to read the classical text itself. In order for students to do that, they are required to be sufficiently familiar with themain characteristics of the important arguments in the history of western political theory. Of course secondary texts, i.e. textbooks orcommentaries on the canonical texts, will be useful, but they are after all secondary. There is no better way in the study for the history of politicaltheory than reading the original text, even in translation.The objectives are chiefly twofold: first, students become able to read the classical texts by themselves; and second, they will be able to develop

and demonstrate their own arguments for politics using the ideas and theories which they have learnt from the texts.


No textbook will be specified. However, students are recommended to read the following classical texts.（That is, reading all the texts is notcompulsory）.Plato,The Trial and Death of Socrates: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Death Scene from Phaedo, Hackett Pub Co Inc, 2001, ISBN-13: 978-0872205543.Plato, The Republic, Penguin Classics, 2007, ISBN-13: 978-0140455113.Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics, Penguin Classics, 2004, ISBN-13: 978-0140449495.Aristotle, The Politics, Penguin Classics, 1981, ISBN-13: 978-0140444216.Machiavelli, The Prince, Penguin Classics, 2003, ISBN-13: 978-0140449150.Machiavelli, The Discourses, Penguin Classics, 1984, ISBN-13: 978-0140444285.Hobbes, Leviathan, Penguin Classics, 1982, ISBN-13: 978-0140431957.Locke, The Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration, Dover Publications, 2002, ISBN-13: 978-0486424644.Rousseau, A Discourse on Inequality, Penguin Classics, 1985, ISBN-13: 978-0140444391.Rousseau, The Social Contract, Penguin Classics, 1968, ISBN-13: 978-0140442014.J.

of US-Soviet strategic and ideological confrontation which has never reached a third world war. But this generally shared image is not at allrelevant in depicting the tremendously complicated historical reality of the Cold War. For more sufficient understanding, it is necessary for us toanalyze multiple factors which constructed the Cold War world politics: inner-alliance relations, security dilemma, vulnerability of nucleardeterrence, the civil consensus for fighting the Cold War, transformation of nation-state system, social changes, and etc. Nowadays, a field ofhistorical studies, the so-called Global History, demonstrated a notable development, which intends to grasp historical events from multipleperspectives including strategic, political, economic, and social view points. This course can be characterized as a historical interpretation of theCold War from the Global History perspectives.


Attendants are expected:１）To learn basic and significant historical facts of the Cold War, particularly about why and how they took place,２）To understand what sort of perception was held by policy makers, intellectuals, and ordinary people about the world politics where theylived,

３）And to consider historical roots of the present problems of world politics.

In this course, we are going to read the English edition of LászlóMérô's book titled“Moral calculations”. As stated by the author,“this book isabout rational thinking - something that may, perhaps, not even exist. There are many indicators that human thinking is essentially nonrational,even in those cases where the methods of pure logic can effectively be applied.［...］Here we are going to discuss thinking from the point of view ofJohn von Neumann's theory of games.”The course does not require advanced mathematical skills, not even the knowledge of game theory. It does require, however, thinking, logic and

some common sense.


The objective of the course is to read, discuss and understand a（non-textbook）book on game theory and its applications to human behavior.

Sociocultural StudiesAspects of Language: Relationships and Role in Society

NEWELL, Anthony ２年以上英語 2 −English


It is difficult to think of any aspect of human society that ranks above language in terms of importance. Without language, we would not be verydifferent from the apes, and the human cultures and civilizations we know today would simply not exist. What are the defining characteristics ofhuman language? What languages are used in the world today? How are they related? And, in particular, what impact does language have onsociety? Having covered the preliminaries of comparative philology（comparing and classifying languages, including a look at the history ofEnglish）, we will turn to sociolinguistics and discuss the interplay between language and each of a number of important aspects of identity,including nationality, ethnic background, gender, age, and class. We will also examine such matters as the social consequences of multilingualism ina national context, and language policies as engaged in at the government level.
