Goals of the Course(JPN) | | | | 授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | Organised crime is often studied through its economic and violent dimensions (e.g. profits, markets, and body counts) but this leaves unanswered a more fundamental question: how do groups that operate outside state law manage to govern themselves? This course approaches organised crime as a social and cultural phenomenon in its own right, examining the internal life of criminal organisations: the rules, rituals, and identities that hold them together, and the violence and diplomacy that regulate their relations with rivals and the state.
Adopting a comparative and global outlook, the course draws on political theory, anthropology, gender studies, and sociology to make sense of groups as different as the Sicilian mafia, the Japanese yakuza, UK street gangs, Hong Kong Triads, and the Wa Army. Rather than treating these as a single undifferentiated category, we ask what functions codes of honour, initiation rites, and gendered performances of status actually serve for organisations that cannot rely on courts or contracts to enforce cooperation and trust.

Objectives of the Course(JPN) | | | | 授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan | | Week 1: Introduction: What is OC?
What is Organised Crime? What is a Mafia? We will look at competing definitions of organised crime and introduce the course.
Week 2: Rules
We will examine the codes that govern criminal groups (omertà, honour codes, internal law…) and why groups operating outside state law still need enforceable norms. We will discuss how these codes substitute for the contracts and courts unavailable to illegal enterprises.
Week 3: Rituals
We will explore initiation ceremonies, oaths, and symbolic markers of rank (tattoos, titles, blood oaths) across different criminal traditions. We will discuss what rituals accomplish: building trust, marking commitment, and making membership irreversible.
Week 4: Masculinity I
How are ideals of manhood performed and enforced within a criminal organisation? The class will introduce masculinity as a lens for understanding organised crime, focusing on the yakuza's codes of brotherhood, hierarchy, and honour.
Week 5: Masculinity II
We will extend the masculinity lens to UK street gangs, examining reputation, respect, and violence as markers of status, comparing how similar gendered dynamics play out in a very different organisational and cultural context.
Week 6: War & violence
We will look at violence as a tool of governance within and between criminal organizations: turf wars, internal purges, and the strategic use of force. We will discuss what triggers violent escalation and how it functions as a form of control.
Week 7: Peace & diplomacy
Mafias are not only capable of violence, they are also capable of negotiating truces and restoring order among themselves. We will examine how criminal groups strike peace deals, establish territorial agreements, and maintain informal order without violence.
Week 8: Midterm
Midterm exam covering material from Weeks 1–7.
Week 9: Self-Image
Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? We will analyse how organised crime groups construct and circulate their own image, through film, media, and self-mythologizing, and how that image diverges from lived reality.
Week 10: Politics I: Anti-State OC
We will focus on organised crime groups that position themselves in direct opposition to state authority, using Hong Kong Triads and the Wa Army as the primary case.
Week 11: Politics II: Pro-State OC
We will discuss the yakuza as a case of organised crime accommodated by, and partially embedded within, state and social institutions.
Week 12: Death of OC
Why do mafias die? We will consider the decline and transformation of traditional mafias.
Week 13: Guest speaker / case study day
A flexible session for a guest speaker or an in-depth case study not otherwise covered in the course.
Week 14: Synthesis
In this class we will pull together the course's thematic threads. Serves as review for the final exam.
Week 15: Final assessment
The exam will cover the whole program. |

Course Evaluation Method and Criteria | | This class will be evaluated through the following methods:
Contribution to discussion (20% of the final grade): all classes are interactive and require the participation of students to discussions and debates. Students are required to read the assigned material and use the information in the debates. Specific criteria include: summaries of the readings, contributing answers to questions, critical thinking, ability in presenting and arguing ideas, ability to listen and engage with different ideas, and motivation.
Mid-term evaluation (30% of the final grade): The course provider will supply a list of possible questions on week 6. Passing mark is 60/100. To receive a passing grade, students must demonstrate the ability to make logical arguments about the theories studied in the first half of the semester, based on knowledge and experience gained through the class. In case of fail, the candidate is allowed to re-submit once.
Final evaluation (50% of the final grade): The final assessment will take the form of an oral exam. Each student will give a short presentation on a topic of their choice, drawn from the course's themes and case studies, followed by a Q&A session with the instructor. A passing mark (60/100) will be given based on a demonstrated understanding of the basic concepts and terminology covered in the course, and the ability to apply these to the chosen topic and to real-life events raised in the Q&A. Students are expected to draw on course readings, and may be rewarded for drawing upon additional works. |
| | 教科書・参考書
Textbook/Reference Book | | There are no required textbooks for students to purchase.
Reading Materials for each class will consist of both academic journal articles, book chapters, films (easily available on Netflix or video rental shops). These will be available on the course's NUCT page under the "resources" tab, with the readings for each week in their own folder. |
| | 課外学習等（授業時間外学習の指示）
Study Load(Self-directed Learning Outside Course Hours) | | | Students are required to read the materials assigned at the end of each class. The viewing of a film may also be suggested: although this is not mandatory, students who view the film will be able to participate more in the class debates and therefore will receive a higher grade in the “contribution to discussion”. |
