Course Description

In this course, we aim to understand the basic ideas, theories, etc. about political science. Since the political developments in Japan and other countries are often reported on TV and in newspapers, we feel as if we have some understanding of them. However, in order to understand such political developments more deeply and accurately, it is necessary to know the basic ideas and theories about political science. In the class, the concept of political power, various political systems, and the behavior of various political actors will be explained along with examples from Japan and other countries. I will give you a quiz at the end of each class, so that you can check your understanding and express your own opinions on the topics discussed.
