授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
This course provides a broad overview of key concepts and theories in comparative politics and aims at facilitating the students' understanding of why and how political events happen. Specifically, each lecture addresses important substantive questions about the world today (e.g., Why do protests happen? Why do some countries successfully democratise while others do not? Why does the military intervene in political affairs?) and explains how existing studies have answered those questions. This course critically examines several existing theories so that the students will be able to analyse current political events from their own comparative perspectives.
In addition, this course introduces the key methodological concepts that are associated with the analysis of comparative politics. Specifically, the course explains what causal relationships are, how they are different from correlations, and what we should do to explain political events.
到達目標Goal
This course helps students:
・To learn the fundamental concepts and theories on comparative politics.
・To learn how to use the knowledge acquired in this course for explaining the various political issues in the world today.
・To understand the research methods relevant to the study of comparative politics.

Nothing in particular.
その他の重要事項Others
•Active participation is more than welcome and is valued highly. Students may ask questions about readings and lectures for clarification, express their opinions, and respond to other students’ comments. Student's willingness to comment and ask questions matters for a better learning experience for all.
•Plagiarism is a very serious academic offence and whether done wittingly or unwittingly it is the student’s responsibility. Ignorance is no excuse. The result of plagiarism will have consequences. If it is a very serious case, I will immediately report it to the University and ask for their judgement.
