This AEAS module will introduce students to the political system of Japan, following loosely Almond and Powell’s structural-functionalist policy cycle model (if you are not familiar with it yet, google it!).
Requirements to pass this course are active (and I mean active) participation, preparation of assigned readings, one term paper (required length is 6,500 words plus any graphs, tables etc.), and a short oral presentation on the subject of the written assignment.
Students who are planning a BA- or an MA-thesis on Japanese politics are invited to the “Seminar on Japanese Politics”, taught by me and to be found elsewhere on LSF.
With the end of the LSF-registration period I will remind you to register for this course on Moodle.
NOTE: Our first unit on Apr. 3rd will be held online! The link is available on Moodle. You will receive information on how to access the Moodle room for this first course by email a few days before our first meeting.
