＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
The subject of this basic course covers major trends in international cooperation and development.The omnibus lecture discusses not only some aspects of the theory of peace and development but also practical challenges the globalizing world faces. It must be noted that those challenges are addressed by a wide variety of global actors including the UN organizations， NGOs， private firms as well as bilateral donors. The course consists of three successive lectures on peace, governance, development, and lessons from the Japanese experience. The students will learn the basic disciplinary approaches toward global issues and understand the effectiveness of those approaches in addressing particular issues including persistent poverty and inequality, social marginalization and discrimination, corruption, political violence, natural disasters, diseases and climate change.
＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞
AT the end of the semester, students are expected to be able to write an essay about major theories of international cooperation and development that are taught in this course.
