| 授業の目的 【日本語】 | | | | | 授業の目的 【英語】 | | ・“Public Administration” or “Government Activities” are closely related to our daily life. From the time we are born, there is no moment in our contemporary life in which we are not involved with government affairs. Government, such as executive branches at the central and local levels, consist of various aspects, such as bureaucracy, organization, public management and public policy. How do these aspects affect and shape the world we live in? How do we distinguish the executive system / public administration from the legislative system and the judicial system? What is public administration?
・This course has several purposes: Students are expected to be able to (1) to learn about administrative theory in general, in terms of institutional theory, public management and public policy, (2) to know more about the development of the Japanese administrative state and bureaucracy, and how these work, (3) to discuss current issues corresponding to institutional reform, such as the 2001 central government restructuring, NPM, decentralization and electoral reform, among others. |

・The course consists of 1 weekly student presentation regarding the readings, and lectures in which I will present on public administration and public policy issues in Japan based on the readings, such as from textbooks, papers, and book chapters, and student discussions that I will facilitate. Questions and discussions comparing your own country and Japan on each topic are strongly encouraged. I'd like to focus more on policy issues this fiscal year.

I will upload the syllabus and the reading list, a part of which are updated every year, in our first class. All readings in the syllabus are required unless marked as optional. The readings and related materials can be found on the NUCT or Canvas (which I show you later) site for the course. We also highly recommend reading a national newspaper regarding Japanese public policy (the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Daily Yomiuri, and the Nikkei Asian Review, among others) so that you are aware of public policy development in Japan that emerge this semester. |
