This module is the AEAS-module on Japanese politics. It continues and builds upon the corresponding AEAS-module of the summer term by looking at major aspects of Japanese politics through the lense of institutional theories.
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. Deadline for handing in the written assignment will be March 15th.
Students who did not participate in the summer module are encouraged to prepare this module by reading the following two titles:
Neary, Ian (2019) The State and Politics in Japan. London: Polity.
Pekkanen, Robert J., Steven R. Reed, Ethan Scheiner and Daniel M. Smith (eds) (2018) Japan Decides 2017 Cham: Palgrave Macmillan.
First class: 18.10.2021 online (Zoom-link tbd)
