| 備考/ NotesNotes |
Japan has experienced major political, economic, and social changes in the last several decades. This course seeks to enhance students’ understanding of contemporary politics in Japan. I also emphasize social scientific reasoning and comparative perspective. Thus, I expect students to be able to critically evaluate scholarly works on Japanese Politics as well as examine Japan in comparison with other countries.
For each week, we focus on a specific topic useful for understanding politics in contemporary Japan. Based on the reading materials, lecture, and in-class discussions, we examine the topic of the week.
| 1 | Introduction; What is new in Japanese politics? |
| 2 | Contemporary political institutions |
| 3 | 1955 System - Liberal Democratic Party and the domestic politics of the postwar period |
| 4 | Political economy of the rapid economic growth |
| 5 | Institutional reforms in the 1990s - what features of Japanese politics, economy, and society changed from the 1990s and onward? |
| 6 | Political and economic consequences of the institutional changes |
| 7 | Quiz 1; Film |
| 8 | Election campaigning Japanese style |
| 9 | Koizumi’s structural reform and Abenomics |
| 10 | Politics of aging |
| 11 | Local politics |
| 12 | Tension between local and central governments - Okinawa and Osaka |
| 13 | Quiz 2 |
| 14 | Additional topic or field work |
