| | 授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan | | “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?
Turning our eyes to the comparative perspective, Japanese bureaucracy was well-known for its strong administrative state over both politics and the market until the 1990s, based on a strong economy. However, these characteristics are stereotypes. In addition, they have changed over time through several reforms. What has changed?
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 public management issues.

| | 注意事項
Notice for Students | | Two points are noted: First, this course addresses theories generated in Japan and the U.S. and which have evolved over time. Public administration studies were born in the U.S. in the 19th century. Public Administration in Japan was significantly affected by U.S. studies, especially administrative theory, organizational theory and bureaucratic politics in the U.S., although the reality of the democratic system and the challenges are very different. As a result, Japanese public administration theory has developed from two directions, namely the theoretical and the practical: it mainly imported U.S. theory, on the other hand, the challenge surrounding government affairs in Japan has been tackled apart from theory. However, theory has evolved and diverged by incorporating other social sciences, such as theoretical research and empirical research since the 1990s.
Second, this course sometimes refers to political science, sociology, management, public law and public finance due to the fact that these studies are also related to public bureaucratic organizations. However, these are not exhaustively examined in consideration time constraints. Please review the related materials on your own and do not hesitate to ask questions. |
