COURSE OBJECTIVES AND OUTLINE:
This course will serve as (1) an introduction to Japanese law to those who are new to the subject, (2) a chance to analyze and discuss a wide range of issues in Japanese law, and (3) a chance to gain a more global perspective for those who have already taken courses in Japanese law. After learning/reviewing some basic concepts, we will be discussing a range of specific topics in different areas of Japanese law. Please note that this year there will be much more family law content (and fewer other topics) than previous years (see Preliminary Class Schedule below on details of topics that will be explored in this seminar). Where appropriate, comparative perspectives from other countries will be introduced. The aim of this seminar is to (1) acquire/review the basic concepts of (Japanese) law, (2) deepen the participants’ understanding of Japanese law and Japanese society, and (3) provide a global perspective on social issues in Japan and on the approach of Japanese law in tackling these issues.

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND OUTLINE:
We will discuss themes in gender, law and policy, such as gender stereotypes and biases in law and legal practice, the portrayal of women in the courts and justice systems of Japan and a number of common law jurisdictions, such as Canada, Australia and the US. We will also look at the law concerning transgender persons, following two recent Supreme Court of Japan judgments relating to transgender persons. We will start the semester with more general topics about law and gender, but will concentrate on domestic violence during the latter part of the semester. This seminar aims to cultivate a deeper understanding of gender and the law, as well as to introduce a comparative perspective through readings concerning gender and law in different countries/jurisdictions.

The aim of this class is twofold: to provide an overview of the socio-economic history of Britain, with a special focus on the early modern period (1530-1815), and to cultivate a critical understanding of the economic history of Western Europe and North America from comparative perspectives. By the time of the industrial revolution, Britain had become a significant commercial power in Europe and played a pivotal role in shaping the course of the global market economy. Therefore, studying early modern Britain reveals how the foundation of the modern global economy was established. Furthermore, it helps to uncover Europe’s unique institutional context, in which latecomers like Japan were destined to prosper (albeit in their own unique ways) to keep pace with the leading Western economies. The comparative approach is a key method employed in this class, as it inevitably raises an important question: why are some capitalist market economies more robust and resilient than others in the long run? The answer to this question has profound implications for our understanding of our economy.
This course aims to deepen the understanding of how international development policies and projects are formulated and developed using case studies.
The course is to introduce how development aid policies are formulated based on the needs of the society in a country and how projects are implemented on the ground based on the policies. It uses case studies of Japanese projects that the lecturer has experienced in his career to explain the formulation and implementation of development projects. The course provides opportunities for participants to learn actual practices taking place on the ground of international development.

This course introduces students to the typical decision-making in Japan, especially in Japanese companies. The classes will cover not only the ways of Japanese decision-making but also those of the Western world. In contrast with these mechanisms, things peculiar to Japan will be highlighted. Japanese companies are famous for the consensus decision-making. What are advantages and disadvantages of the consensus decision-making? What have Japanese companies changed to the management board in order to alleviate the disadvantages? Is there any good way to reach a consensus easier? While answering these questions, the course will emphasize the things Japanese are most concerned about to illustrate the Japanese culture. Two main objectives of the course are to provide the knowledge of Japanese style discussions and to provide the basic skills of the facilitator who helps make the process of reaching a consensus decision easier.
