EU ・ジャパン・エコノミック・リレーションズ（秋学期）
(EU- Japan Economic Relations)
This course is offered in English. The text used in this course is Julie Gilson, “Japan and the Europian Union”, Macillan Press (in the UK), St Martin’s Press (in the USA), 2000. The contents of the book are as follows.
- Chapter 1 Introduction: Assessing Bilateral Relations
- Chapter 2 Developing Cooperation, 1950s-80s
- Chapter 3 Japan and its Changing Views of Europe
- Chapter 4 European Integration and Changing Views of Japan
- Chapter 5 The 1990s and a New Era in Japan-EU Relations
- Chapter 6 Cooperation in Regional Forums
- Chapter 7 Addressing Global Agendas
- Chapter 8 Conclusions: A Partnership for the Twenty-first Century
Lectures will be based mostly on chapters of this text. Emphasis will be on the economic side of EU-Japan relations, rather than the political or historical. The plan is to use the first lecture to discuss chapter 1. During the following weeks, two lecture-hours will be spent discussing each of the chapters 2 through 6. Chapters 7 and 8 will be discussed together in the last lecture.
The topic to be discussed in the following week will be announced at the end of each lecture. Students must submit a report on the topic each week. They should thus familiarise themselves with the topic before coming to class. Several photocopies of the text will be on reserve at the library.
Evaluation is by class participation and an essay at the end of term. For lighter reading on Japan, students may turn to Kaji, Hama and Rice, The Xenophobe’s Guide to the Japanese, Oval Books, 1999, 3.99 pounds. Reading and/or purchasing of this latter book are not necessary.
