授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
In our era of globalization, what happens on the other side of the world affects our lives. The COVID-19 outbreak in a Chinese city in 2019 evolved into a worldwide pandemic. Russia’s months-long war in Ukraine has accelerated a global energy and cost-of-living crisis and caused an economic slowdown in many countries. Understanding the problems that seem far away from home has become ever more important in this global era as we cannot afford to ignore them. But how can we interpret and tackle the key issues and challenges facing our world today? This introductory course in international politics and global affairs is designed to provide students with the analytical skills to explore and explain solutions to real-world issues.
The course consists of three segments. To start, we will look at the historical background of today’s international system, focusing on the evolution from the end of the bipolarity of the Cold War to the emerging global order increasingly led by rising powers. The second segment will cover the main concepts and major strands of theory in the discipline of international relations (IR). These conceptual tools help us analyze global problems and are necessary knowledge for students who wish to continue their studies of international politics after the conclusion of this course. In the final segment, we will investigate contemporary issues that are likely to affect our world for years to come.
Students of all disciplines who are interested in international relations are welcome to enroll. No prerequisites or previous knowledge of international relations is required, but it would be an advantage.
到達目標Goal
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
• Describe the historical development of the international system from the end of the Cold War to the present
• Demonstrate a foundational understanding of the major IR theories and concepts and apply them to historical cases and current events
• Analyze and consider solutions to global challenges in the contemporary world
• Show research, communication, and writing skills useful for future career paths in the field

The course will meet once a week. The structure of the course will consist of a mixture of lectures, student presentations, and group discussions. Lectures, which will introduce background information on each week’s topic, will be followed by student presentations on selected seminal texts related to a weekly debate question designed to expand students’ knowledge of the topic. Students will have a chance to interact with each other in small groups to review the ideas introduced in class and respond to the debate question before participating in a whole-class discussion.
In the last few sessions of the class, students will each share a proposal for their intended research with the class.
