概要:
Globalization, which has proceeded especially since early 90's, has a great influence on our politics, economy and society. We are also facing global issues such as global warming and global pollution, which cannot be solved without global coordination and cooperation. In addition, Japan has scarce natural resources and shrinking domestic market due to an aging population and low birth rate. It is therefore really important for us to be "aware" of and gain insight into this big change. This course provides an opportunity to grasp the meaning of globalization, focusing on international politics, international economy and global issues.
授業の進め方・方法:
The course is comprised of the following elements:
・Lecture (70%). You will not be a passive listener, but discuss and answer many questions asked during class.
・In-class assignment (30%). You will work on assignments during class, such as reading materials written in English, group works and kind of games.
注意点:
Please refrain from talking, sleeping, eating (including gums or candies), drinking, or using smartphones unless permitted, or you will lose class participation points(assignment points).
