【Course Objectives】

1) While introducing themes and political ideas handled by political science, this course aims to consider the characteristics of postwar japanese politics and their problems.  2) Through writing reports and mutual evaluations between students, this course aims to strengthen the basic writing skills that are a necessity of every student.  3) Through the objectives described above, I would like to train people who can think on their own about various problems in modern society and who try to express their ideas in their own words.

【Course Contents】

 This course is not a lecture to watch movies dealing with politics. Also, it is not a course where you can easily take credits. Rather, this is a type of lecutre that uses movies as an auxiliary line to understand the main themes and basic concepts of political science, and by doing so, considers various problems in modern society.
 The lecture begins by confirming the political method of Kakuei Tanaka, who created an era called "Tanaka-ha shihai" in the liberal democratic party(LDP) during postwar period of rapid economic growth. After that, we will consider the characteristics of the LDP and the problems of LDP politics. In the early 2000s, Junichiro Koizumi tried to reform such LDP politics from a neo-liberal standpoint, so-called "Kouzou Kaikaku". At that time, Koizumi used a populist method to promote his reform. So, we will consider the characteristics and problems of populism. After 2012, a political system called "Abe ikkyou" was established. I would also like to sort out the changes in the LDP after the return to government and their problems. In addition, the era of "post-truth" has been established in which we do not know what is true, by arbitrarily asserting the "correctness" that the government, the media, and we think of ourselves. How should we face the "post-truth" era in which informations are fabricated and facts are concealed, and as a result confrontation and division are intensifying? I would like to think about this issue as well.
 In this way, the aim of this course is to nurture the eyes of students to see politics through discussions on important themes in modern japanese politics. And this course emphasizes "output" that requires you to think and write for yourself. Since only two credits will be received, in terms of the efficiency of acquiring credits, this course has poor "cost performance or time performance". But I think this course will be a good opportunity for those who want to deepen their own thoughts and value expressing them to others.
