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, why not google it?!).
Requirements to pass this course are active participation, preparation of assigned readings incl. weekly response papers, one term paper (required length is 6,500 words plus any graphs, tables etc.), and two oral presentations on the subject of your term paper.
Students who are planning a BA- or an MA-thesis on Japanese politics are invited to join the “Seminar on Japanese Politics”, to be found elsewhere in the LSF.
With the end of the LSF-registration period I will instruct you via email to register for this course on Moodle.
