Department of International Politics
The School cultivates talented people who possess a global perspective and
capabilities and who can contribute to international society. To this end, students study
areas of specialty from three departments and we have also created an
interdisciplinary curricula by establishing five courses that cut across the three
departments. We also focus on foreign language education.
|
The Department of International Politics emphasizes
international politics and provides a systematic curriculum to
enable studies on the management of international society
and the political diplomacy of various countries. By studying
international political theory, security, the history of political
diplomacy, area studies and international law, students
acquire the ability to comprehensively analyze the
mechanisms of international society.
In the Department of International Politics, about half of the
faculty members are specialists of international politics and
are leaders in research on international politics in Japan.
Students choose either the "Politics and Foreign
Diplomacy/Security Course" or the "Global Governance
Course." The former is a study of international relations from
the viewpoint of the traditional field of international politics,
and students will take courses on international politics,
international security theory, international law and the history
of diplomacy. The latter is a study of global international
issues, such as peacekeeping operations or global
environmental issues, and students will study theories of
international systems, international administration,
international peace cooperation, and international NGOs by
superseding the boundaries of traditional international
politics. Students are able to join international organizations
or international firms, or become civil servants or journalists.
