Course Description

This lecture focuses on three perspectives, and some of them have their own theme settings, while others have different contents for each perspective．
Viewpoint 1 confirms the whole picture of the world economy from the aspect of international comparison. At that time, we will explain related economic terms in a simple manner so that even students who are not in the Faculty of Economics can understand them. Students in the Faculty of Economics will be able to learn the minimum expertise in economics. Economics is a very familiar field, and everyone is engaged in economic activities, so everyone is the main character of the economy.
Viewpoint 2 refers to countries that have become a hot topic in recent years as case countries, and considers and analyzes overseas economic conditions and events together. In some cases, people feel that the economy is moving, and the fixed impression is contrary to the facts. In other cases, what is taken for granted in Japan may not be possible overseas. There are many different ways of thinking, and there are many questions and issues that have no correct answer, and solving them is meaningful. You will be tasted when different developments are born depending on the interpretation.
Viewpoint 3 is not to talk emotionally about Japan-US relations, Japan-China relations, and Japan-Korea relations, starting from Japan, and to understand the differences not only in the economic field but also in the media, etc. It will not be taken over, and everyone will discuss and share the content. In a sense, national relations are like socializing with people. In Japanese society, where human relationships are said to be the most difficult, I would like you to think together about what to do with relationships between nations, and if possible, raise problems and seek improvement measures.
In this course, students will study DP1.Some contents of this course are based on practical experience.
