備考/ NotesNotes |
This course aims at introducing students to the theory and practice of international cooperation as well as Japan’s international cooperation based on its position on the world stage as a political and economic leader. In interactive ways, students will learn the most important principles of international cooperation and key value concepts guiding international cooperation such as human rights, human security, gender equality and respect for diversity, sustainability etc.). They will also acquaint themselves with the main strategic frameworks, international and regional institutions and international cooperation practice to address and solve global issues such as peace and security, climate change, environmental protection, human rights, migration/forced displacement, humanitarian crises, poverty eradication and sustainable development. Another important objective of the course is to enhance the students' critical thinking and analytical skills as well as presentation and communication skills.
This course will introduce Japan's international cooperation strategies, policy frameworks and essential institutions. After looking at theories of cooperation and international relations, we will study Japan's goals and values guiding international cooperation such as human rights and human security, gender equality, mutual benefit for development and prosperity in line with Japan’s “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” international cooperation doctrine. The course will also examine how well Japan is positioned in the world and in Asia to contribute meaningfully to international cooperation in relation to solving global issues. We will examine in detail cooperation efforts on peace and security, poverty/development, human rights, gender equality and diversity, global health, migration/forced displacement/humanitarian crises, climate change, environmental protection, cybersecurity/AI etc. and look at global and regional cooperation frameworks (bilateral, trilateral, multilateral) and organizations. Through examples incl. the students’ own selected case studies on international cooperation, we will also review the factors responsible for efficiency, success and failure of international cooperation.
1 | Part 1: Introduction to the course - scope; methodology; students' own work on the course. In this part, we will also hear from all students on their particular background/academic interest in this course in order to tailor it to their learning goals and needs as much as possible. – Part 2: What is 'cooperation'? International cooperation as a sub-field of international relations studies; importance of political economy, history, geography for understanding international cooperation. Japan's position in a troubled world; most pressing global issues. |
2 | Student engagement – This session aims at understanding the interface between the students’ broader interest of studies and the potential of the course. Each student will present their specific interest and develop their learning objective for the course. (Students will be asked to choose a topic for research; they will explain their choice in a short paper by week 3, develop a presentation for class (sessions 6-11) and write a final report on their topic by the end of the course.) - In this session, we will also continue the discussion on which global issues require international cooperation the most. |
3 | Global issues require international cooperation – major international cooperation frameworks, mechanisms and institutions (G7, G20, WEF, UN, WB/IMF, other international and regional alliances etc.) dealing with global issues. This session will also look at the role Japan plays in these international mechanisms and institutions, looking for example at how Japan managed its chairmanship of the G-7 in 2023. |
4 | Japan in 2024 – Japan's domestic, regional and international standing. Global issues most relevant to Japan. Particular challenges and opportunities for Japan. - In preparation for sessions 6-12, each student (or small groups depending on the size of the class) will announce their specific research topic. |
5 | Japan’s strategies and value concepts for international cooperation. We will look at Japan’s “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” strategy, the concept of “human security” and learn about Japan’s main institutions/mechanisms for international cooperation such as MoFA, JICA, SDF Support to International Peacekeeping, Tokyo Global Dialogue, TICAD, Japan-US Strategic Partnership, Japan-EU Summit, Japan-ASEAN cooperation, etc.). |
6 | Japan’s International Cooperation – case study 1 – climate change, climate financing, environmental protection, renewable energies (optional disaster risk reduction and resilience) The lecturer’s introduction of the topic (30-40 minute presentation) will be followed by student presentations. |
7 | Japan’s International Cooperation – case study 2 – poverty and development through a human rights based approach and human security The lecturer’s introduction of the topic (30-45 minute presentation) will be followed by student presentations. |
8 | Japan’s International Cooperation – case study 3 – global migration and refugees The lecturer’s introduction of the topic (30-40 minute presentation) will be followed by student presentations. |
9 | Japan’s International Cooperation – case study 4 – peace and security, conflict resolution The lecturer’s introduction of the topic (30-40 minute presentation) will be followed by student presentations. |
10 | Japan’s International Cooperation – case study 5 – global health The lecturer’s introduction of the topic (30-40 minute presentation) will be followed by student presentations. |
11 | Japan’s International Cooperation – case study 6 – reserve session for pending topics or other optional topics such as cybersecurity/cyberterrorism, corruption/governance, outer space, gender equality/diversity/inclusion or other relevant topics proposed by the students |
12 | Efficiency of Japan’s International Cooperation – major challenges such as cultural and historical sensitivities, financing/funding, aid efficiency, transparency, corruption/integrity |
13 | Mapping – interactive session on mapping Japan’s global position, international interests, strategies and footprint of international cooperation engagement (mix of presentation and discussions) |
14 | "What else?" – Final wrap-up of issues, identification of learning gaps, evaluation of learning objectives, guidance on the writing of the final research paper |

- Reading assignments: will be announced in every session or in Canvas; - Following weekly news: students will be asked to follow news on developments and events in international cooperation, in particular Japan's; suggestions where and how to follow news will be shared with the students in session 1 |
Based on the lecture segments in class and with guidance from the lecturer, the students will be required to do their own reading and research on topics they select in the beginning of the course for their case studies as well as the general introductory course topics. Individually or in small groups, they will be required to develop and demonstrate their understanding of the general introduction and their specific topic of interest, incl. through short notes/papers and presentations.
There will be specific assignments, mostly readings or questions for reflection, for most sessions; the readings will be published in Canvas weekly for the following session.
Students will be asked to formulate two papers (one short paper on the selection of their case study research topic; final paper on their research topic) as well as prepare a 7-10 minute presentation of their main research findings in class. In addition, the students may be asked to share their thoughts on particular sessions or reading materials in short 'reflection papers' which will be requested under 'Assignments' in Canvas and will contribute to the course grading.
