Japan in Today's World
20 - 30 July 2010
The University of Tokyo
This course is designed to introduce students to Japan's role in the world in terms of its diplomatic activities and contributions to overseas development and to international organisations.
The principles behind Japan’s international diplomatic engagement, and the extent of Japan's involvement in such activities, remain relatively little known outside of Japan. This course aims to enhance the students’ understanding of these matters, and will include discussion of Japan’s politics and economy, which are bound up within the global system and yet are not so well understood by those outside Japan.
