○講義概要 |
This is an introductory course in peace studies for students of international relations. General topics to be covered include approaches to the study of war; cultures, civilizations, and peace; religion and peace; the distinction between "negative peace" and "positive peace"; nonviolence and peace movements. Additional current topics include: humanitarian intervention or the responsibility to protect, especially through international organizations like the United Nations; recent changes in the national security strategy of the United States after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; application of peace research concepts to the conflicts involving Iraq; terrorism; and "human security" as an integrating concept. Lectures will be in English. There will be a number of video presentations about aspects of peace. Student reports will be used to examine more deeply some of the main issues about peace today. The reports may be in Japanese or English.

出席状況(26%)、授業参画(24%)、前期学期末試験(定期試験期間中)(40%)、小テスト等(10%) 授業の参加、口頭・筆記レポート、学期末試験による評価。 In addition to reading the textbook and other assignments, and participating in class, each student will have to make an oral and written report on an assigned theme of the class. (This is the 24% for "participation".) There will also be a short evaluation (10%) concerning the video presentations. And the final exam (40%) will cover all the contents of the course. The course will be conducted primarily in English, but reports and exams may be written in Japanese. The course will involve not just learning facts about war and peace, but evaluating the issues, including the moral and policy issues related to war and peace today.
