Course Summary

This seminar aims to pursue the cutting-edge of public administration research. Reading the English literature, students will learn what cutting-edge public administration research is. Given the literature review, students are asked to select a vital issue with public administration and then develop a research approach toward the issue.

Another activity of this seminar is fieldwork. Specifically, the students who conducted the fieldwork during the summer will write proposals for the policy competitions organized by the Cabinet Office and Wakayama Prefecture. The seminar will also implement a research camp in Yamanashi, Niigata, or Gunma where the population is declining.

Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This seminar identifies that effective public administration requires a good balance between art and science. To address the contemporary issues of public administration, the instructor and students will pursue the following three goals as one team:

(i) Collect data from the field and analyze them in a rigorous way;
(ii) Grasp the status quo of citizens’ life and identify issues with public administration; and
(iii) Keep learning, keep changing.

As a result of the long-term commitment to local governance issues, the seminar attempts to create new public values from SFC.
