副題 「国際政治の中のアメリカ、そして日本:歴史をふまえて」
授業概要 What the instructor intends to do in this course is to survey US foreign policy issues, principles/doctrines, and practices in historical perspective, making every participant in this class will be able to think more about US "empire" now in an academic fashion. In addition, Japanユs relations with the United States are included in this course. By so doing, students will be given some ideas (1) to understand how the United States has been committing itself to the international community and (2) to easily understand how Japan has been dependent upon the United States, particularly since its defeat in the Asia-Pacific War.
学修目標 This class aims at giving several important ideas of America and Japan in World Politics, so that each student will possibly and hopefully get some knowledge to understand what World Politics has been in the past centuries and how Japan has been influenced by its surrounding political and security and economic developments, and get some insights into Japanユs future relations with some of the international community, specifically with neighboring nations.
In this class, ENGLISH is to be used as much as possible.
