Notes

【Course Objectives】

After the mid-nineteenth century, Japan successfully modernized the institutional political and economic systems from the feudal order as the first country outside Europe and North America. By the 1960s, the nation experienced the rapid economic growth and became the world's second largest economy (after the United States) despite the economic crisis after the defeat of the World War II. This miraculous growth is regarded as a good guide for other developing countries.
This course presents a picture of how theory in economics relates to the problems, reviewing its development process, fundamental policy issues, and contemporary business environment in Japan. The ultimate goal of this course is to expand the student's analytical frameworks for the master’s thesis.

【Course Contents】

This course consists of the following two parts: (1) lectures on development process after the end of the feudal Japan and (2) lectures on several important domestic policy issues and contemporary business environment in Japan.
