【Course Objectives】

・Students will learn about international politics, especially the Okinawa problem relating to Japan-America relations
・We will consider the response of Okinawa as a local community to politics unfolding on a global scale.

【Course Contents】

In this course, we will follow changes in the Okinawa problem in global politics from the postwar period. At the start of the Cold War, Okinawa was designated as a base critical to the military security and was placed under the jurisdiction of the American military. Many series of negotiations were held between Japan and America regarding this matter, resulting in Okinawa being returned to Japan in 1972. However, the American military base in Okinawa remains as an essential strategic position to America’s global military strategy, and the problem persists into the present day. In this course, we will examine the effects that America and Japan’s military security policy, issued within the context of Cold War era international politics, has on Okinawa. We will also examine the response to this from the Okinawan side of things. Through understanding this, we will investigate the interactions between local communities and changes in global politics.
