Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This is the multidisciplinary course on the economic, political and social aspects of the Asia-Japan relations. It covers not only the theoretical aspects but on practical aspects, such as the economic policies, the Japan's corporate strategies and the financial markets.
Each session is composed of two parts. The first part is based on the latest text written by Japanese scholars. Then in the second part the related topics are discussed based on the comprehensive texts written by the Asian and Western scholars. After each class students are supposed to write the short comments. Asian policy makers and academics will be invited for guest speeches occasionally.
