授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | This course aims to argue one of the essential concepts in social sciences in international development: institution. Recently, institutions have been widely employed by social scientists as the concept that occupies the center of analysis. This course will address the puzzle of collective action and discuss how institutions have become one of the fundamental perspectives for understanding political processes and policy outcomes. We will also review classical and recent works on state-building to comprehend and critically discuss the most recent development of theories. This is a discussion-centered course. All participants must read the designated course materials in advance and actively participate in the discussion. |
