Umegaki briefly introduces the current as well as past research projects, and basic policy interest of the two instructors of the course. The introduction will be followed by a brief outline of what this course is meant, supplemented by a simple account of what “policy management” (sougouseisakugaku) is about. We will also give the “must” readings for you to consider throughout the semester.

POLICY MANAGEMENT (HUMAN SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT) 2010

Introduction--Umegaki

->A new notion of "human security" since 1994 has offered a fundamental challenge to the "growth-first" orientation in much of the postwar development policy. ->Gien this new stimulus for policy studies, we cope with the multi-layered tasks: 1) the fundamentals of policy research; 2)the examinations of the tools or research and analyses; 3) the historical inquiry into the origins of the nexsus between Development and Human Security beyond 1970s; and 4) research excercises in selected policy issues.-> The students are required to participate in the following activities: 1) In-Class discussion; 2) Digesting reading assignments; 3) Excercise in proposing policy research; and 4) Final oral presentations.
