Outline (in English)

 In recent years, there have been calls for a crisis of democracy. In fact, anti-democratic political forces have emerged in many parts of the world, plotting to storm the Capitol (in the U.S. and Brazil) and to overthrow the state (in Germany). Also in Japan, democracy has been dysfunctional for a long time, as evidenced by the declining voter turnout and the disorganization of parliamentary deliberations. Does democracy really have a future?
 In order to grasp these issues, it is essential to take a theoretical approach rather than merely following events superficially. In this course, we will systematically study several political theories that are important for thinking about democracy, and consider questions such as whether democracy is a desirable political system in the first place, and if it has problems and limitations, what kind of political system would be more desirable.
