Seminar Bulletin Board 2001

This GSID-wide common course is provided as an entry point to GSID’s multidisciplinary International Development Studies. In order to demonstrate the efficacy and attractiveness of a multidisciplinary approach to International Development to incoming students, faculty members with various research areas and job experiences have prepared this introductory course using team-teaching methods. This course also introduces human and Internet resources available at GSID to newcomers. The course consists of the following six issue-based clusters (with the name of the cluster manager in the parentheses) in the academic year of 2002.

1) Introduction to International Development Studies (Prof. S. T. Otsubo)

2) Japanese Development Model (Prof. D. Cho)

3) Globalization and Development (Prof. M. Ezaki)

4) Poverty (Prof. S. Ito)

5) Disputes and Development (Prof. Y. Sato)

6) Intercultural Understanding and Communication (Prof. T. Kinoshita)

Each cluster consists of presentations by several professors and discussion sessions.

Both English and Japanese (with English summaries) will be used in this course.
