Course Description

The content of this lecture will be divided into three stages. First, let's review the whole picture of the world economy from an international comparison perspective. At this time, the related economic terms will be explained simply so that students who are not the Faculty of Economics can understand. Next, we take up countries that have been talked about in recent years as case countries, and consider and analyze overseas economic circumstances and events together. Lastly, starting from Japan, rather than emotionally speaking about Japan-US relations, Japan-China relations, and Japan-South Korea relations, they understand not only the economic field but also the differences between each other, and have been handed over to the media and other commentaries. Without, we will discuss.
In this course, students will study DP1.Some contents of this course are based on practical experience.
