This module is the second AEAS-module on Japanese politics. It continues and builds upon the corresponding AEAS-module of the summer term by looking at selected aspects of Japanese politics.
In this winter term, we will busy ourselves with two major topics: foreign policy and populism in Japan.
Students will be required to prepare a written assignment and give an oral presentation on their topic during the winter term. We will discuss the respective research questions and designs. The deadline for handing in the written assignment will be published on Moodle.
We will also use AI to work with original Japanese texts and websites so students are requested to occassionally bring their smart phone, laptop or tablet to class.
There will also be some course candy: We will treat ourselves to scenes from the greatest Japanese movie on politics ever made.
The first and second units (Oct 20 & 27, 2025) will be held online! |
