Course Description
Can politics be a "science"? This course encourages one to think like a political scientist and become a more discerning consumer of political information -- to “think big, but systematically” about the problems and puzzles facing Japan and international polities. As one studies the research process, from concept to design, they apply skills to tackle problems central to political systems like trust, corruption and gender inequality -- and think further about what democracy is, how it can be measured, and how it can be improved.

Course Description
International Relations Theory is a time-honored approach to the social world. Texts that are clearly recognizable as dealing with international relations date back to the ancient Greeks. Still, most textbooks in the field take a geographically and historically very parochial stance towards its own field. It is easy to get the impression that IR theorizing is a fundamentally Western (or US) activity, that has taken place over the last 100 years or so. This course explores if this is true. The course begins with a discussion of IR theory as a social science, followed by a survey of contemporary Western IR theory. The course then expands our temporal and spatial horizon in search for IR theory elsewhere in history and geography. Examples include India, China, Africa, and European renaissance and enlightenment thinking.
