授業の概要と方法

【+R-Jugyo】
Information for “+R-Jugyo” will be posted on the “Course News” on manaba+R by September 20. Be sure to check the “Course News” on manaba+R.

The course explores the global history of order and governance from the early modern to the contemporary period, particularly focusing on the changing modalities of relations between different “worlds.” Going beyond the conventional (Eurocentric) narrative of the modern state system first emerging in Europe and then spreading throughout the globe via European expansion, it recasts our understanding of the modern international system’s polycentric foundations by taking a comparative and connective perspective on the global networks of interaction. Teaching methodologies employed include a combination of lectures and discussion-oriented seminars; students will be expected to prepare for class through weekly readings, engage in group work, etc. Feedback on assignments will be provided via Manaba+R. By studying for this course, students will be able to bring informed historical and theoretical arguments to bear on contemporary problems and to better anticipate and understand potential avenues of change in the future.

For JDP students, this is a gateway course to the Global and Comparative Governance (GCG) thematic area. Make sure you complete it early on, particularly if GCG is your Primary Thematic Area.

受講生の到達目標

The students will be able to:

1. Be familiar with the dominant ways of thinking about the sources of governance and change, develop the analytical tools necessary to evaluate those arguments based on historical evidence, and encourage the application of this knowledge to pressing contemporary issues in world politics.
2. Be familiar with the comparative method, and application of cross-regional comparisons in analysis.
3. Demonstrate critical thinking as evidenced through both written work and group discussions.

受講および研究に関するアドバイス

Class policy on AI usage / academic dishonesty:

1. Students are required to uphold academic honesty in class for all assignments, reports, quizzes, etc.
2. Students’ use of generative AIs, including grammar checkers like Grammarly or translators such as
Google Translate is strictly prohibited. Reports, assignments, or any course-related written work using AI in any measure for text generation, will be treated as plagiarism and graded according to the university rules for plagiarism/academic dishonesty. Additionally, directly copying or using information from electronic tools, or using false information taken directly from generative AI software, such as ChatGPT, will also be treated as academic dishonesty.
3. Students are therefore advised and encouraged to use the Writing Tutorial Program provided by the university and seek help from tutors, rather than relying on AI or software such as for grammar checks.
