【Course Objectives】

This course aims to offer a comprehensive examination of the political landscape of Japan by means of reading selected English literature on the subject. Through this course, students will acquire the capability to comprehend and critically evaluate English-language research on Japanese politics, thereby deepening their understanding of the crucial issues, actors, and institutions that shape the current political landscape of Japan.

【Course Contents】

This class will involve reading English literature pertaining to research on the 2021 Japanese House of Representatives election. The literature includes papers written by both foreign and domestic experts in the field of Japanese political studies, which analyze various topics such as party politics, public opinion, the media, policy issues, the impact of COVID-19, gender, the Tokyo Olympics, issues related to racial discrimination, and foreign policy. It is hoped that through exposure to the perspectives of foreign researchers, students will develop the ability to understand modern Japanese politics from a multifaceted perspective. Classes will be conducted by having a designated student present a summary of the assigned literature, followed by group discussion.
