授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan
Work of government and its policies are integral part of our daily life. Public safety, health and wellness, vital economy, education, and other public values are ensured by the activity of government and its policies. Our contemporarily life is mostly shaped by the activities of government. The study of public administration and policy is concerned with what governments do, why they do it, and what difference it makes. With the standard textbooks of public administration and policy, students will first learn the general theory and analytical framework of government activities, such as bureaucracy, organizational theory, management, public policy process, and others. At the same time, students will learn the development and characteristics of Japanese public administration and policy, as a refence point for the comparative study. With both knowledge in theory and of Japan, students are expected to capture both unique and common characteristics of the government of their home country, and have analytical solutions for the betterment of government performance.
