| | 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.
The course is generally based on the topics listed below, but some topics may be adjusted depending on the number and interests of the students enrolled, with topics such as Digitalisation, Democratic Backsliding in Public Administration, and Citizen Participation incorporated as appropriate.

| | 注意事項 Notice for Students | | Two points should be noted regarding the content and scope of this course.
First, this course addresses theories of public administration developed in Japan and the United States and examines how they have evolved over time. Public administration as an academic field emerged in the United States in the late nineteenth century. The study of public administration in Japan was significantly influenced by U.S. scholarship, particularly in the areas of administrative theory, organizational theory, and bureaucratic politics, although Japan's political and administrative systems and the challenges they face differ considerably from those of the United States.
As a result, the study of public administration in Japan has developed along two somewhat different paths: theoretical and practical. On the one hand, Japanese scholarship imported and adapted theories developed primarily in the United States. On the other hand, scholars and practitioners have addressed challenges arising from the actual operation of government and public administration in Japan, sometimes independently of these theoretical developments. Since the 1990s, however, public administration research in Japan has become increasingly diverse, incorporating theories, concepts, and empirical methods from other areas of the social sciences.
Second, this course occasionally draws on political science, sociology, management, public law, public finance, and other related fields because they are closely connected to the study of public administration, public organizations, and bureaucracy. Due to time constraints, however, these fields cannot be covered comprehensively in this course. Students are encouraged to consult relevant materials on their own and should feel free to ask questions about topics related to the course.
Finally, please note that three or four classes may be held online during the semester due to the instructor's academic travel or family circumstances. The schedule for these online classes will be announced after the first class. |
