授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
This course introduces the structure and dynamics of politics in Japan, in the United States, and in the world. Throughout this course, we ask a variety of research questions: What is the purpose of government? Who is more powerful, a president or a prime minister? How do we count votes in a democracy? How does media affect politics? What did Trump do? Does democratization facilitate economic liberalization? How will global climate change impact international politics? Capitalism is compatible with democracy, isn't it? What do bureaucrats do? To answer these questions, students are expected to learn various theories and models in political science.
到達目標Goal
What you learn in this course will allow you to become an informed participant in political discussions and debates in your life.
Students can be expected to learn the following by the end of the course:
- to use and critique alternative explanatory systems of theories of political science.
- to analyze the effects of historical, social, political, economic, cultural, and global forces on the area under study.
- to recognize and assume one's responsibility as a citizen in a democratic society by learning to think for oneself, by engaging in public discourse, and obtaining information through the news media and other appropriate information sources about politics and public policy.
