授業の概要と方法

 [ Theme ] Basic theories of international relations-Getting acquainted with analytical methods and historical cases

 [ Class Summary ] 　 International politics relates the well-being of our daily lives a great deal through issues of security, international economy, and global agenda, including climate change and pandemics. Today, a better understanding of international politics will require close observation of the traditional military power and complex interactions between various transnational factors. The concepts and methods developed in international relations for analyzing different aspects of global politics provide us with valuable tools for identifying the problems and exploring the solutions.
This seminar offers an overview of notable theories and approaches that characterize international relations and examines historical case studies.
The class takes place based on text material. In each session, students will make presentations on the designated subject, followed by commentary of the instructor and discussion by the participants.
