Outline (in English)

The course explores topics in the history of Japan-U.S relations from a global perspective. In recent years, global history has revealed complex interactions between goods, ideas, services, finance, and people across nation states and regions. By incorporating the framework of global history, the course will aim to reexamine the relationship between Japan and the U.S. by paying special attention to the interactions of individuals with different objectives and backgrounds in the Asia-Pacific region. 

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
●Understand the historical development of Japan – U.S. relations from a global perspective.
●Critically read and analyze both secondary scholarship and primary historical documents on Japan-U.S. relations by incorporating the framework of global history.

Students are required to read all the assignments and be ready for class discussions and presentations. University guidelines suggest preparation and review should be around two hours a week for a two-credit course.
