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, google it!).
Requirements to pass this course are active (and I mean active) participation, preparation of assigned readings incl. weekkly response papers, one term paper (required length is 6,500 words plus any graphs, tables etc.), and a short oral presentation on the subject of the written assignment.
Students who are planning a BA- or an MA-thesis on Japanese politics are invited to the “Seminar on Japanese Politics”, taught by me and to be found elsewhere on LSF.
With the end of the LSF-registration period I will remind you via email to register for this course on Moodle.
