Course Registration

Course registration consists of two parts: registration and withdrawal periods. For the registration schedule, please check the “Academic Calendar for 2016-2017.” 1. The period for registration is for two weeks around the commencement of each term’s classes. You must register in this registration period to attend classes that you wish to take. No credits can be earned for courses completed without registration. You may add/drop course(s) during this period. 2. The withdrawal period provides the only option to leave a course following the end of the registration period. The transcript will indicate a ‘W’ grade. Students cannot withdraw after the withdrawal deadline.

*No withdrawal period is set for the Summer and Winter Terms, since most summer/winter courses take the short-term, intensive approach. Students must drop a course during the registration period, or successfully complete all course requirements to avoid failing any course.

Syllabus

In order to select courses effectively, students are strongly advised to read the course syllabus on our online system, GRIPS Gateway, carefully.

How to Register Students must register using the online system.

*For online registration details, please refer to the “How to register for courses” page.

GRIPS Assessment Policy

GRIPS Assessment Policy

Assessment Information Provided on Syllabus

All information about assessment for individual courses will be provided in the detailed syllabus available at the beginning of the course. This will consist of:

the assessment plan, including the marking/grading system to be used, and the weight allocated to each significant grading component

examination/submission dates penalties for late submission other requirements, if any

Once a course has started, instructors may change the requirements only after obtaining the agreement of all students concerned and informing the Academic Support Team.

Procedure before Final Grades Assessment during the course Instructors should return items of assessment completed during the term promptly, with marks or grades and, where appropriate, comments to the students. Also, instructors must comply with the guidelines for grading (cf. ‘Final Grades’), so that students can gauge their own performance against that of other class members. Students are advised to keep the returned original assignments in case they decide to appeal their final grades.

Meeting all assessment requirements Course assessments may include different forms of assessment, such as class exercises, assignments, quizzes, tests and examinations. Students need to ensure that they have

― 7 ―

2


completed all the required forms of assessment by the designated deadlines. Failure to attend a class where instructions were given or work was assigned is not a valid reason for non-performance.

Students’ own work All work submitted for assessment must be the student’s own work, and must not be the result of collaboration with others, unless it is clearly indicated in the assignment details that the submitted assignment may be a joint or collaborative effort. In all joint assignments, the nature and extent of the collaboration and the identities of the collaborators must be specified.

Special consideration 1. Students who have suffered serious illness or misadventure beyond their control, which they believe has affected their assignment work, should complete and submit as soon as possible a “Request for Special Consideration” form (available at the Academic Support Team counter) along with any medical certificates or other certified official documents specify about the duration and severity of the problem, to the Academic Support Team, who will forward them to the instructor.

(1)

2. Students should note that work, family, and sporting and social commitments are not normally seen as being beyond a student’s control and so are not normally accepted as grounds for special consideration.

(2)

3. If the student is not satisfied with the initial response to his/her “Request for Special Consideration,” then the student may submit a request for further consideration to the Program Director through the Academic Support Team.

(3)

4. For further information regarding applications for special consideration, contact the Academic Support Team.

(4)

Course withdrawal procedure A student can withdraw from a course without penalty during the registration period. After the end of the registration period, students can still withdraw from courses before the final withdrawal deadline, in which case a grade of W will be shown on their transcript. It is not permissible to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline. The academic calendar provides the registration periods and withdrawal dates for each term and course type.

W

Final Grades Final Grades The following grading scale will be used for all courses.

A 90-100 Outstanding performance A 90-100 B 80-89 Superior performance B 80-89 C 70-79 Satisfactory performance C 70-79 D 60-69 Acceptable minimum performance D 60-69 E 0-59 Unsatisfactory performance E 0-59 P Pass (in courses designated Pass/Fail) PF Fail (in courses designated Pass/Fail) FW Withdraw

T Credit transferred

Grade distribution guidelines For courses in which letter grades are assigned, the grade distribution should satisfy both the mean GPA criterion and the reasonable distribution criterion.

GPA

1. Mean Grade Point Average Criterion Courses should have a mean GPA between 3.1 and 3.5, where A, B, C, D and E carry grade points of 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0, respectively. Grades of P, F, W and T are not be included in the GPA calculation.

A B C D E 4 3 2 10 GPA 3.1

3.5 P F W T GPA

2. Reasonable Distribution Criterion The distribution of grades should be in accordance with the following guideline.

A 20-50% of class A 20-50 B 30-70% of class B 30-70

― 9 ―

2


C < 25% of class C 25 D < 10% of class D 10 E < 10% of class E 10

If the grade distribution guideline is not met, the instructor should provide a reason.

Release of course results Course results are submitted to the Academic Support Team by the end of the third week after the end of the term. All students will be issued an official results notice, providing the details of courses completed and grades awarded, after each term and within ten working days of the final submission date.

10

Appeal

1. Students who have concerns regarding theirgrade in a course should first approach the course instructor to discuss their assessment.

(1)

2. A student who, after speaking with the courseinstructor, still wishes to appeal the grade, must submit a request in writing to the Program Director through the Academic Support Team within three weeks of the announcement of the results. If the request is judged appropriate, the Program Director will seek the advice of the course instructor and the Dean, and arrange for the work to be reassessed. The Program Director will decline to take action if insufficient reasons are given to justify reassessment. In particular, deviation from the grade guidelines is not sufficient grounds for a review. If the course instructor is the Program Director, then the request will go directly to the Dean.

(2)

3

3. When the piece of assessment in contention is agroup assignment, the formal request for review must be signed by all members of the group and submitted as above.

(3)

4. As noted previously, students should keep allmarked work returned to them in case those

(4)

― 10 ―

2


documents are required for reassessment purposes. Reassessment will not be approved in cases where the student cannot provide the returned original marked piece of work.

Repeating a Course 1. In principle, students cannot repeat a course which they have already taken successfully. They can do so only if both the course instructor and their Program Director give their permission.

(1)

2. Those who wish to repeat a course should submit a completed “Application to Repeat a Course” form to the Academic Support Team after obtaining the approval* of both their Program Director and the course instructor.

*Approval is not required in the case of repeating

Japanese language courses.

(2) *

3. Only the grade assigned in the repeated course will be shown on the student’s transcript.

Cheating and Plagiarism

GRIPS View of Cheating and Plagiarism

Cheating and plagiarism is viewed as a serious offense by the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS). It directly affects the morale of your fellow students and lowers the reputation of the School. Cheating and plagiarism, therefore, will not be tolerated and may result in serious penalties, including suspension or expulsion from the School. All staff and students have a responsibility to prevent, discourage, and report cheating. For more information about penalties, see the “Disciplinary Policy in the Event of Student Misconduct.” Definition of cheating

Cheating is behaving in a fraudulent way in university coursework and examinations. Cheating includes passing off work done by someone else as your own work, or otherwise trying to gain an unfair advantage. Examples of cheating Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:

Impersonating someone else in a test or examination,

or arranging such impersonation; Copying from another student during a test or

examination; Referring to notebooks, papers, or any other

materials during a closed-book exam; Submitting work for which credit has already been

received in another course without the express consent of the instructor;

Helping others to cheat in these ways is also a form of cheating;

Falsifying data. This means manipulating research materials or processes, or changing or omitting data or results, such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. While there is considerable leeway in interpreting data, the data itself must not be manipulated or distorted.

Definition of plagiarism

Plagiarism is the copying of ideas, wording, or anything else from another source without appropriate reference so that it appears to be one’s own work. This includes published and unpublished work, the Internet, and the work of other students and staff. Examples of plagiarism Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to: The submission of a work, either in part or in whole,

completed by another; Failure to give credit for ideas, statements, facts, or

conclusions which rightfully belong to another; Paraphrasing the ideas, interpretation, or expressions

of another without giving credit; In written work, failure to use quotation marks when

quoting directly from another, whether it be a paragraph, a sentence, or even a part thereof;

Using another writer’s whole paper (or a substantial part), even with a citation.

Disciplinary Policy in the Event of Student Misconduct

Misconduct in Academic Activities

Misconduct during an examination refers to any behavior considered improper for a graduate student under instruction, such as using non-permitted materials in a test site, including “cheat notes” constructed by the student, non-permitted devices, or another person’s answer sheets.

Misconduct in the context of a research paper refers to the unattributed use of a source of information that is not considered common knowledge (plagiarism), intentional falsification of analytical results and/or research data, and other such unsuitable behaviors.

Misconduct in Non-Academic Activities Misconduct in Non-Academic Activities refers to any conduct that would disrupt the good order of the university, or any unsuitable behavior for a student under instruction.

Penalties In accordance with Article 56 of the School Regulations, disciplinary action taken with regard to students found guilty of misconduct may include a reprimand, suspension, or expulsion from the university. Suspension may be of two types, either for a period of between one week and three months, or for a period of six months. The date on which the disciplinary action goes into effect shall in principle be the same date on which the notice of said action is issued. Treatment of misconduct in academic activities 1. In the event of a reprimand, the student’s enrollment in the relevant course shall be annulled. 2. In the event of a suspension, the student’s enrollment in the relevant course shall be annulled. Further, depending on the severity of the case, the student’s enrollment in all courses for the relevant term (the term in which the misconduct occurred) or the relevant school year may also be annulled.

3. During the period of suspension, the student shall not be allowed to register for courses, attend classes, or take exams. Treatment of misconduct in non-academic activities This shall be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Disciplinary Procedures Disciplinary action for students suspected of misconduct shall be determined and executed as follows: 1. In the case of misconduct relating to academic activities, the faculty member in charge of the applicable course shall report the details of the conduct to the Dean of the Graduate School. In the case of misconduct in non-academic activities, the faculty/staff with knowledge of the details of the offense shall report the details to the Dean of the Graduate School. 2. The Dean of the Graduate School shall report the details of the incident to the University President and shall convene an investigative committee composed of the Dean of the Graduate School (committee chair), the Vice-President for Academic Affairs, the Program Director, the instructor of the relevant course, and others as deemed necessary. 3. The investigative committee shall consider the facts relevant to the case, develop a proposal for the penalty, and submit the proposal to the University President. 4. The University President shall receive the aforementioned proposal from the investigative committee, develop a proposal for final disposition, and present it for deliberation at the Academic Council, upon which the results shall be finalized. 5. The University President shall notify the relevant student regarding the contents of the disciplinary action. 6. In the event that the student files an objection about the decision, the University President shall have the

― 13 ―

2


investigative committee engage in further consideration of the matter. The investigative committee shall take into consideration the contents of the student’s objection, and report its results to the University President. 7. In the event that a change occurs in the contents of the proposal for penalty, the revised proposal shall once again be placed before the Academic Council, and upon

deliberation, the proposal shall be finalized. 8. Disciplinary action in response to student misconduct, including details regarding the misconduct and penalty, shall be publicized within the university. The publication of information will omit the student’s name and school identification number.

Tips for Successful Studies at GRIPS

Preparing for Lectures You should be sure to read the lecture’s assigned

readings before the lecture in order to gain the most from the class and be able to ask good questions.

Review your lecture notes after each class to make sure you understand everything.

Preparing for Examinations It is okay to ask what course material is most

important for the exam, as well as to ask about the format of the exam and whether any practice exams are available.

Try predicting what exam questions could be using your lecture notes, problem sets, and readings. Then develop answers for these questions.

Try explaining difficult topics to your friends. It will help to test your understanding.

If you still have questions about a topic as you prepare for the exam, ask the professor about it during office hours or a review session.

Be sure to get enough sleep and eat healthy foods.

During Examinations Make sure to allocate your time appropriately: you

do not want to get stuck spending too much time on a question not worth many points while neglecting to answer other questions which may provide many more points.

Follow the exam directions carefully and also make sure you answered each part of the question.

Try to write legibly. If you have time, review your answers before

submitting them.

Allocating Your Time during Term The end of the term is usually a very busy time,

with many examinations and papers due in a short period. You should not procrastinate. Begin writing your papers as soon as you can, and study the course materials throughout the term so that the end of the term is not so hectic.

Evaluation Criteria & Assessment Structure for Master’s Degree Theses and Papers

Evaluation Criteria

Most of the students at GRIPS are mid-career bureaucrats sent from governmental organizations, and thus, master’s theses are aimed at improving policymaking ability. Specific policy issues that are of interest to each individual student are selected, with analyses of policy effectiveness carried out based on disciplines in various inter-disciplinary academic fields (economics, politics, public administration, engineering, etc.) along with analyses such as policy evaluation. When evaluating a master’s thesis or research paper on a specific topic, criteria for assessment shall be determined by the degree of objective and rational analyses, based on various scholarly methodologies in accordance with the topic’s distinguishing features, as evaluated independently by each respective program. Each program must thoroughly disseminate the evaluation criteria during the orientation process at the start of each course.

Assessment Structure Each program should organize viva voce presentations that include question and answer sessions, with the assessment status decided by judges composed of academic supervisors and program committee members. Based on assessment results, final passing status will be determined by the Academic Council, following an assessment by the Master's Programs Committee.

Master’s Programs

Master’s Programs (International Programs)

Young Leaders Program (School of Government/School of Local Governance) Young Leaders Program (YLP) is a scholarship program sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. GRIPS started YLP-School of Government in 2001 and YLP-School of Local Governance in 2009. The objectives of the program are to: 1. Foster future national leaders in designated countries 2. Build up comprehensive human networks among the leaders of nations 3. Establish friendly relationships among the countries involved, including Japan 4. Improve the quality of policy making in the participating countries

This program is open to exceptionally promising young government officials with considerable working experience in the area of public administration. In principle, a minimum of three years' working experience in the field in the applicant’s home country is a prerequisite for admission to the program. Students will be admitted on the basis of an appraisal of their potential to become future leaders at home, to play important roles in their countries' development, and to maintain the lasting friendship and trust of Japan and other countries around the world.

The program is designed to expand students’ comparative as well as historical knowledge of international/regional politics and economics while providing them with an in-depth understanding of Japanese politics and economy.

The curriculum covers a wide range of topics concerning public administration and policy formulation, and also offers the opportunity for intensive discussion with politicians, high-level government officials, corporate directors, journalists, and other Japanese leaders. The program also includes Field Trip/Workshop I-II and a final paper based on Independent Study/Research Paper.

One-year Master’s Program of Public Policy (MP1) This program primarily targets mid-career public officials with excellent academic and work credentials and with managerial experience and strong leadership potential. The program equips future managers and leaders with the basic skills and knowledge needed for policy analysis and policy management. The program has produced a steady stream of highly qualified professionals in the public policy arena. Graduates of the program become part of an international network of policy professionals.

The program consists of required courses and elective courses. All MP1 students are provided a common interdisciplinary and analytical foundation through the core courses. Students acquire more specialized knowledge by selecting courses in one of four concentration areas: Economic Policy, International Development Studies, International Relations, and Public Policy. A wide range of elective courses offers students the opportunity to broaden and/or deepen their knowledge. Practical courses are offered by government officials with extensive experience in actual policy formulation and implementation. This combination of academic and practical knowledge is the hallmark of a GRIPS education.

MP1 students produce a policy report in one of the four concentration areas. The Policy Debate Seminar I facilitates students’ development and exchange of ideas for their policy reports in concentrations of their choice. In the Policy Debate Seminar II, students finalize their study and write up their policy reports with helps of their supervisors.

MP1 is primarily aimed at mid-career professionals and staff members from local or national governments and international organizations. Highly qualified individuals with an interest in public policy are also welcome to apply. Financial support is available on a competitive basis. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) offers scholarships to government officials from Asian countries. Japanese government scholarships are available to government officials and

researchers from all over the world. Two-year Master’s Program of Public Policy (MP2) This program aims to provide early and mid-career professionals the technical skills needed to analyze, design, and implement public policy. The program provides a strong platform for advanced research (including doctoral studies). Students are required to write a master’s thesis in one of four areas of public policy: Economic Policy, International Development Studies, International Relations, and Public Policy. In addition to three policy workshops, students receive specialized guidance through a program of independent study.

MP2 has a similar structure to that of the one year program, but MP2 students receive more advanced training and guidance in the technical skills needed for public policy analysis. All MP2 students develop a common interdisciplinary and analytical foundation through the core courses. They select from one of four concentration areas and take specialized courses that provide them with strong analytical and quantitative skills. They also have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of elective courses in academic and practical topics. In their second year, students utilize their technical skills and practical knowledge to write a master’s thesis under the guidance of a highly-trained specialist in their chosen field of concentration.

MP2 welcomes applications from individuals with a strong interest and aptitude for policy analysis. The primary target is promising young and mid-career officials and staff members in local or national governments, international organizations, and research institutes. Highly qualified individuals interested in a career in the public policy field are also welcome to apply. Candidates should have strong academic credentials and a desire to obtain the analytical and quantitative skills needed to be professional policy analysts. Financial support is available on a competitive basis. Currently, scholarships are available from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Japanese Government. Macroeconomic Policy Program The Macroeconomic Policy Program (MEP) is a professionally oriented program designed to train modern macroeconomic policy makers and professionals who need to understand

macroeconomic fluctuations and the roles of monetary and fiscal policies in domestic and global economies. The program aims to enhance the capacity of governments to formulate and implement financial and economic policies in a manner that leads to quality growth. The curriculum deals with macroeconomic and structural aspects, including policies aimed at establishing sound macroeconomic fundamentals, liberalized trade, a robust financial system, and a vast private sector. Ample attention is also given to a broader range of issues, such as roles for government, institution building, the environment and sustainable development.

Scholarships for this program are provided by the Japanese government and administered by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). They are offered to promising young officials from the following Asian countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pacific Island countries, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. The program is primarily aimed at officials of various ministries of finance, economy, and planning, as well as central banks. However, suitable candidates from other parts of government are also admitted. Public Finance Program This program is for professionals in the area of taxation and customs.

The Public Finance Program started in 1997 and is operated under the full support of the World Bank (WB) and the World Customs Organization (WCO). The major objective of the Public Finance Program is to provide students with the conceptual understanding and technical competence to become leaders in taxation and customs. The program is comprised of two segments: an academic segment common to tax and customs scholars, and a practicum segment which is divided into tax and customs depending on the scholar’s stream.

The academic segment of the program provides rigorous economics-oriented training aimed at developing an understanding of the theoretical, empirical, and institutional aspects of tax and customs policy implementation and administration in the context of developing countries' economic and social

development. A practicum at the National Tax Administration or the Customs Training Institute provides an opportunity for students to enhance their learning with hands-on experience in a tax/customs-related work environment and to integrate this experience with their formal education.

Economics, Planning, and Public Policy Program This program is designed for government officials to contribute to good governance and economic development in Indonesia.

Indonesia is undergoing enormous transformation. The “two D’s”-robust democratization and radical decentralization-are fundamentally reshaping the country's political, economic and social landscape. To help Indonesia meet the challenges arising from this transformation, the GRIPS-Indonesia Linkage Master's Program (LMP) was designed to develop highly capable central and local government officials who will contribute to Indonesia's capacity to continue on the road to good governance and economic prosperity.

This collaborative academic program is offered by GRIPS and Indonesia's premier national universities, namely, Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Gadja Mada, Universitas Brawijaya and Universitas Padjadjaran. During the two-year program, with the first year in Indonesia and the second one at GRIPS, the students enjoy excellent opportunities to combine theory with practical skills and research with action. Special emphasis is placed on developing core skills in areas that will be valuable to them: economics, political science, public policy, and public management. The Program’s approach is multidisciplinary and covers a wide range of topics, allowing the fellows to select the courses that suit their individual needs.

GRIPS offers a distinctive learning environment in which the LMP students have abundant opportunities to interact with and learn from a diverse international group of faculty members and their own peers-mid-career government officials from all over the world. In addition, the faculty's vast network of contacts, along with the campus's ideal location in the heart of metropolitan Tokyo, provides the students with uniquely easy access to the Japanese policymaking community.

Disaster Management Policy Program Natural disasters result in crippling economic losses and human tragedy, hampering development, particularly in developing countries, where many people reside in buildings and areas that are vulnerable to natural disasters. In order to reduce the effects of natural disasters, human losses in particular, proactive disaster risk management should be promoted, preferably in a multi-disciplinary fashion. To that end, it is essential to cultivate, through professional education and training, disaster management experts with the expertise to develop, and apply appropriate disaster management policies and techniques that harmonize with local conditions.

In order to enhance the capacity of professionals in developing countries to cope with natural disasters, the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) offers a master’s degree program in Disaster Management Policy. This Program is offered jointly by the International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (IISEE) of the Building Research Institute (BRI); the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM) of the Public Works Research Institute (PWRI); and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This program is administered as a JICA Knowledge Co-Creation Program, supported by Official Development Assistance from the Government of Japan.

This program is designed to enable disaster risk management professionals from developing countries to acquire knowledge of seismology, earthquake engineering, tsunami disaster mitigation, and water-related disasters, as well as a foundation of disaster risk management knowledge; to learn the theories which constitute the foundation of disaster management policies; to study Japanese policies and systems; and to acquire the skills needed to apply problem-solving approaches to the development of concrete technologies and policies appropriate to local conditions. Maritime Safety and Security Policy Program The MSP is a collaborative program designed and administered jointly by GRIPS and the Japan Coast Guard (JCG). This program makes it possible for students to benefit from the resources of both


― 25 ―

institutions in the fields of public policy, security studies, maritime safety, and maritime security. Students will have the opportunity to acquire professional knowledge, analytical skills, and communication skills relevant to their work while becoming members of a network of future coast guard leaders in Asia.

With financial support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), junior coast guard officers from different parts of Asia will study at GRIPS in Tokyo during the first half of the academic year and in Kure, Hiroshima at the Japan Coast Guard Academy (JCGA)–the JCG’s most important educational institution–during the second half of the academic year.

Study at GRIPS After enrolling in the program, students will take required and elective courses at GRIPS from October through March. The required courses are International Relations, International Security Studies, International Law, International Relations in East Asia, and International Law of the Sea. The elective courses will enable students to deepen their knowledge in the fields of their interest. The elective subjects include courses in politics, economics, national security, and policy making.

Study at the JCGA From April through August, students will take courses and participate in practical training and educational programs at the JCGA. The required courses are Policy for Search and Rescue, Salvage and Maritime Disaster Prevention, and Maritime Law Enforcement Police Policy. Students can enhance their ability to effectively execute their duties as coast guard leaders in Asia through the study of a wide range of elective subjects. The JCGA’s elective courses are designed to develop students’ knowledge of science, technology, and criminal investigation, all of which are vital elements of effective policy formulation. Students will attend lectures, which will focus on past maritime incidents and possible future scenarios, offered by leading experts and JCG officers. Through lectures and discussions, students will both enhance their understanding of the roles played by maritime law enforcement agencies and learn to identify best practices.

Policy Paper During the course of one year, students are required to write a policy paper on issues relevant to the

study of maritime safety and security. In order to do so, they will work together with two academic advisors—one each from GRIPS and the JCGA—to complete the paper before graduation. Graduate Program in Japanese Language and Culture (conducted in Japanese) This program is designed for foreign teachers of the Japanese language who teach overseas. The Program’s goal is to prepare graduates who will become leaders in the academic field of Japanese language education in their own countries.

The first of its kind in Japan, this Program offers an entirely new and interdisciplinary approach to Japanese language education and Japanese Studies by helping students gain a thorough understanding of Japanese culture and society. GRIPS offers the Program in conjunction with the Japan Foundation Japanese-Language Institute (JFJLI), Urawa. JFJLI is a leading educational institution in Japan with a long tradition of excellence in Japanese language education and in teaching Japanese to foreign educators.

Courses are divided into three fields: Japanese language; language education; and society, culture, and region studies. Students have the opportunity to return to their home countries to conduct research, as well as take part in an internship to improve their teaching methods.

Master’s Programs (Domestic Programs)

Public Policy Program This program targets individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds relevant to policy research. Students include administrative officials who are candidates to become officers in central government ministries and agencies, as well as aspiring policy analysts. The Program is designed for government officials with extensive knowledge of policy analysis, and cultivates professional leaders and innovative policy analysts who possess not only highly technical knowledge but also awareness of the social responsibilities attendant upon their positions.

This Program acts as GRIPS’ core program and aims to meet diverse needs. Students can choose either a terminal master’s degree or an intensive pre-doctoral curriculum. Both paths focus on


― 26 ―

cultivating abilities in problem analysis and policy planning. Graduates of the Program will be able to offer valuable contributions in the field of public policy.

Regional Policy Concentration The dilemmas, problems, and opportunities facing today’s regional areas are manifold, and only through rigorous analysis and planning can decision makers arrive at policies that encourage the growth and development of a particular region. The Regional Policy Concentration is designed to prepare local government officials/professionals to examine and analyze regional problems, devise effective strategies for solving those problems, and guide the implementation of those plans. It teaches public policy knowledge and techniques with an emphasis on regional issues to a target group of junior and mid-career local government officials who will be taking policy initiatives and devising new strategies as the local government executives of the future.

The Concentration’s core courses provide a firm basis for logical thinking and analysis, develop sensitivity to policy problems, and enhance students' planning abilities. The curriculum also includes a policy research seminar and several other courses in which students are exposed to a broad array of issues, information, and methods. In the seminar, students develop relevant solutions to real-world policy issues facing local governments. Students prepare a proposal paper in which they present their own policy issue responses. Education Policy Concentration Recent and rapid progress in the decentralization of policy making as well as the emergence of new education policy issues in Japan has left a number of prefectures and municipalities facing the urgent need for their own education policies. This challenge calls for the development of human resources within each of the prefectural/municipal authorities so that officials with relevant and sufficient abilities may plan and implement original education policies to serve specific local needs, while maintaining effective cooperation with local education-related bodies.

This Concentration has been designed to develop the abilities needed for such policy planning and implementation in local governments. In concrete

terms, the target abilities fall into the following three categories: 1) the ability to plan original education policies with insight into new issues and needs; 2) the ability to implement education policies effectively and efficiently; and 3) the ability to assess and evaluate policy impacts with appropriate academic policy analysis tools.

In addition to these post-graduate educational activities, the Concentration engages in research, such as policy research projects and seminars/symposia, as well as information activities through the Internet. All the Program’s activities are planned and carried out with a view to creating an academically stimulating and intriguing environment for students, and to this end, positive partnership and cooperation have been maintained with such relevant entities as the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology, the National Institute for Educational Policy Research, and a number of overseas and domestic universities and research institutes. Infrastructure Policy Concentration This program is designed for professionals in the field of development projects, and its objective is similar to that of the Public Policy Program. However, the particular focus of this Program is the implementation of development projects. This Program seeks to attract not only junior and mid-career officials of the national government, but also staff of public and quasi-public corporations as well as private companies involved in implementing development projects in cooperation with the public sector. While candidates for the Public Policy Program typically have undergraduate training in law, economics, political science, or public administration, the Development Policy Program is geared toward people with an engineering background.

In addition to addressing policy questions, the Program is concerned with critically evaluating the impact of policy at strategic and practical levels. The Program aims to give a firm grounding in economics and management and familiarize students with basic policymaking tools needed for the socio-economic development of a country. Other main subjects include economics of the public sector, private finance initiatives, project feasibility and evaluation methods, project cycle management, project implementation, and global

issues for sustainability. Disaster Risk Management Concentration The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake Disaster revealed that Japan, which is one of the most advanced countries in the field of disaster reduction, should further improve its disaster risk management policies, including, mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, recovery, and reconstruction.

This concentration aims to provide the students with the opportunity to learn the latest policies and issues in the field of disaster risk management, based on the lessons of the recent disasters, so that they will be able to develop policies and take appropriate actions before, during, and after disasters at multi-disciplinary basis. This Program seeks to attract the national and local government officers and staff of public and private organizations, who are involved or will be involved in disaster risk management. The curriculum provides a foundation of practical, legal, economic, and technological knowledge for disaster risk management. Healthcare Policy Concentration The recent unprecedented phenomenon of population aging has made healthcare one of the most important policy areas. This is not only “healthcare” in the narrow sense but also as an inclusive concept, encompassing long-term care, welfare, environment of employment and even urban planning. This program is designed to give the students a foundation of knowledge, theory and analytical techniques for regional policy work; a solid understanding of the essence of healthcare challenges; and the skills needed to formulate comprehensive policies regarding healthcare and related areas.

The core courses are theoretical and comprehensive, but at the same time they have a practical component essential for the design of healthcare policy: in addition to the course lectures delivered by faculty with deep knowledge and extensive experience in the field, guest lectures are given by invited speakers such as government officers from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and currently practicing medical doctors. Agricultural Policy Concentration In recent times in Japan domestic lifestyles have

been changing in response to declining birthrate and aging population, and global food markets have been expanding. This has resulted in a need for regional revitalization and the encouragement of population shift to rural areas. New techniques are called for, such as adding value to agricultural products through the development of regional charm. Such approaches require innovative policy formation, and steady implementation of such policy in cooperation with private sector partners such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and food industry enterprises. The agricultural policy concentration aims to develop human resources that can lead regional policy development, offering training in the necessary public policy theory, knowledge, and analytical methods, so as to give the students a deep understanding of policy trends and issues in agriculture and related fields. Regional Development and Finance Concentration Given the phenomenon of ubiquitous depopulation and the intense concentration of population in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, outlying regions face a challenging mandate, to undertake diversified strategic revitalization measures based on locally generated ideas and under local entity responsibility, in order to ensure a livable environment in every region and to foster a sustained vibrant Japanese society with a strong future.

This situation calls for collaboration and mutual support among local governments and regional financial institutions towards the realization of regional growth strategies. The Regional Development and Finance Concentration is designed to offer appropriate knowledge and training to mid-career local government officials and staff of regional financial institutions, so as to familiarize them with the theory, knowledge and concrete measures related to regional revitalization, regional economy analysis, regional development project financing, and expansion of regional industry business scope to the global market. This course is offered in cooperation with the Development Bank of Japan Inc. Cultural Policy Program This program is designed for leaders in cultural policy; its purpose is to cultivate professionals and


― 28 ―

4

specialists in the field of cultural policy. Graduates are expected to play leading roles in cultural policy research and/or the design and implementation of future cultural policy, cultural administration, and cultural diplomacy in Japan. The Program is geared toward Japanese junior and mid-career government officials, as well as others with a serious interest in cultural policy issues. The Program's faculty conducts cutting-edge research that applies quantitative analytical techniques to data from field studies in order to provide a sound basis for government decisions regarding cultural policy. Urban Policy Program Japanese cities face many new challenges linked to major social changes and demographic shifts. Policy responses to these challenges, however, tend to adhere to a conventional framework inadequately supported by theoretical analysis. Government responses to the emergence of non-profit organizations and other new urban policy players also remain inadequate, with urban policy development failing to meet radically changing demands.

This program aims to provide private and public sector policy makers and other personnel involved in urban policy with the opportunity to learn to assess urban policies using a wide array of analytical tools. The curriculum provides a foundation of legal and economic knowledge as well as insights from sociology, regional policy, local community studies, urban planning, and urban structure studies. Partnerships with other universities and institutions are being explored to ensure that students are exposed to both theoretical and practical knowledge in relation to the urban environment, welfare, engagement with local residents, and other urban policy issues.

In recent years, as the Japanese government endeavors to strengthen intellectual property protection, national and local governments and private corporations have shown a growing interest in intellectual property issues. Accordingly, demand is increasing for intellectual property experts who are able to plan and design intellectual property policies and strategies as well as protect and promote local culture and traditional crafts. In response to these trends, the Urban Policy Program now offers an Intellectual Property Course. This course provides students with broad knowledge and

skills related to intellectual property, including intellectual property law, law and economics, and science and technology.

Students will acquire broad and profound knowledge in the areas of law and economics, town management, intellectual property laws, and recent socioeconomic trends, all of which will be highly applicable and generalizable to their careers. Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Program There is a growing need for science, technology and innovation (STI) to address economic and societal challenges. Many national and local governments, universities, research institutions and companies have been trying to find ways to design more effective and efficient STI policies and strategies to realize innovation and sustainable growth.

This program aims to cultivate human resources who can apply a scientific approach in the planning, drafting, execution, evaluation and revision of STI policy and strategy. In particular, we intend to equip the administrative officials and practitioners with skills for STI policy analysis and planning. The program is operated under the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and is provided in cooperation with the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP), the Center for Research and Development Strategy at Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST-CRDS) and the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI). Strategic Studies Program The Strategic Studies Program, offered jointly by GRIPS and the National Institute for Defense Studies (NIDS) of the Japanese Ministry of Defense, is designed to provide an opportunity for senior military officers and defense officials to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of, and training in, advanced level strategic and defense issues. Through the program, the students will become more effective in analyzing the domestic and international strategic environment, in planning and implementing policy, and in the operation of multinational security missions and fora.

In the course of the year, the students will take required and elective courses at GRIPS and NIDS.


― 29 ―

The required courses, on topics including theories of security studies, military history, and contemporary policy issues, provide a critical basis for advanced security studies. The elective courses offer students opportunities to acquire deeper knowledge on both broader and more specialized issues, including civil-military relations; space and security; the defense industry and technology; regional security affairs of the United States, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East; and methods for analysis of the international strategic environment.

In addition, the program utilizes policy simulations to enable the students to apply their classroom learning to actual policy formulation and implementation processes. The students will receive instruction in issues related to policymaking; conduct actual research; and engage in group debates on different aspects of security policy issues, as embodied in a variety of scenarios. They will also participate in role-playing games in which they will learn practical lessons about effective coordination with government agencies and foreign countries. Finally, while the students are completing their course work, each student is expected to write a policy paper, equivalent to a master's thesis, on relevant theoretical and/or policy issues. The writing will be supervised by two advisors, one each from GRIPS and NIDS.

Course Description Course No., Course Name, Instructor, Term, Course Description

CUL1010E, Managing Cultural Diversity, TBA, TBA CUL1020E, Development and Culture, TBA, TBA DEV2130E, Urban Development Policy: Sustainable Urban Development Theory, H. Suzuki, Summer This course will introduce varying policies, theories and methodologies for promoting sustainable urban development. In this course, sustainable urban development is defined as urban development which aims to achieve both economic development and environment preservation simultaneously, while paying close attention to the synergy and interdependency between them. The visit to Kashiwano Ha smart city is a part of the course. DEV2500E, Infrastructure and Regional Development: Lessons from the Past, Ieda, Spring LAND is the wide-rage field where people create community and live along with the nature, and on which infrastructure such as road or waterway etc. shoulder industry and people’s life. They have been created and managed by a sort of centralized power like realms and governments with particular wills, as well as decentralized activities of individuals. This course will discuss how human being has been struggling to find the narrow way to achieve the better future under the limited natural and social conditions through an comprehensive and extensive case methods. *DMP (Disaster Management Program) courses will appear in the end of the list. ECO1000EA, Microeconomics I, Xing, Fall(Session I) This is an introduction of microeconomics. It covers basic economic assumptions and concepts used to define the behaviors of consumers and firms in a market. The course consists of three parts: consumer theory, firm theory and the equilibrium in a competitive market. In the consumer theory, preference, utility, budget constraints, utility maximization and demand curves will be introduced. In the firm theory, production and cost functions, profit maximization, and supply curves will be discussed. Finally, the concept and the determination of the equilibrium will be analyzed. ECO1000EB, Microeconomics I, Wie, Fall (Session I)

This course will present the basic theory of analytical tools of microeconomics. The course begins with the neoclassical models of consumer and firm optimization and moves on to the market coordination of these individual decisions. While the course emphasizes basic theory, ample applications will be presented to demonstrate how the tools can be used in a variety of contexts. ECO1020E, Essential Microeconomics, Kijima, Fall How do markets work? How do markets set prices, determine what will be produced, how they will be produced, and decide who will get the goods? What should governments do in a market economy? This is an introductory microeconomics course, for those with no previous economics background in particular, which tries to obtain answers to these questions. We will study a concise, consistent methodology for understanding and predicting the economic behavior of people and firms in a variety of markets. The tools developed in this course will prepare you for upper-level courses, as well as for intelligent discussion of issues under public debate. ECO1060EA, Macroeconomics I, Rhodes,Fall (session I) This course is an introduction to modern macroeconomic theory from a policy perspective. The course uses economic models as a way of formalizing ideas about macroeconomic issues and problems. Our primary focus is the aggregate behavior of a competitive market economy in the classical “long run.” The course offers insights into the behavior of such important phenomenon as inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, unemployment, and long-term economic growth. ECO1060EB, Macroeconomics I, Porapakkarm, Fall(session I) This is a first course in the macroeconomics sequence. The course will cover broad topics relating to major macroeconomic variables; eg. money supply, inflation, unemployment, economic growth. Given that these variables can be changed over time and different across countries, we will use simple macroeconomic models to illustrate the underlying mechanism behind the change and difference. The focus of this course is on the long-run equilibrium. Graphs, basic algebra, and multi-variate calculus will be frequently used to analyze the models.

ECO1080E, Essential Macroeconomics,Nakamura,Winter This is an introductory macroeconomics course. It covers main topics of Macroeconomics so that students can learn basic concepts, theories and policy implications of Macroeconomics. The goal of this course is to understand the whole picture of the macro economy rather than to study the details of individual models. In the course, basic algebra will be used but diagrams are mainly used to understand the essence of the economic models. ECO1600E, Monetary Economics(Money and Banking),Fujimoto, Fall This course aims to provide an overview of money and banking. The course will discuss both theoretical and institutional issues related to banks and other financial institutions, financial markets, and monetary policy. ECO1800E, Economic Development of Southeast Asia, KUDO Toshihiro and HARA Yonosuke, Fall First, this course provides an overview of economic and industrial development of Southeast Asia since the 1960s. Second, the course tries to analyze the development factors and mechanism of Southeast Asia. Third, the course pays a special attention to the development experiences of latest-comers including Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV). They face both opportunities and challenges of globalization and economic integration at the very beginning of economic development. What are the effective growth strategies for those latest-comers? Fourth, the course provides an overview of regional cooperation programs including the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) Economic Cooperation. Finally, the course provides a detailed case study of Myanmar for food for thought on the above question. ECO1900E, Global Economic History, Sugihara, Fall This course surveys the recent literature on global economic history, by discussing its intellectual background and by linking it to relevant regional and national historiographies and their themes. Reference will be made to the theory of multiple paths of economic development, which suggests that, in contrast to the diffusionist thesis that global economic development originates from modernization and industrialization of the West, there existed long-term regional development paths, for example in East Asia and South Asia. The history of globalization itself will be discussed from this perspective, in the light of a new emphasis on the role of regional dynamism as an engine of globalization. By so doing, the course aims at a deeper understanding of the historical context in which Japan, Asia and other regions of the world had been placed for the last few centuries.

ECO2000EA, MicroeconomicsII,Xing,Fall(Session II) In this course, we incorporate information, time and uncertainty into the decision processes of economic agents and analyze the equilibra of imperfect market. Particularly, we will discuss how economic agents make optimal decisions when they face uncertainty, asymmetric information, and choices of consumption over time. In addition, we will introduce basic concepts of game theory and its applications in economics. ECO2000EB, Microeconomics II,Wie, Fall(Session II) This second session course addresses the broad methodological topics of game theory, information economics, and general equilibrium model. We start with general equilibrium model and move on to game theory and information economics. This course is designed for the dual purposes of giving students a systematic grounding in microeconomics and preparing them to use economic models in their own research. ECO2020EA, Government and Market, Hasegawa, Winter The objective of this course is to acquire an in-depth understanding of the economic roles of government in a modern market-based society. We seek to understand what governments should do (or should not do), what should be left to the market and to private individuals, and what would be the consequences of government policies. This course will help you to apply the principles and knowledge of microeconomics to current policy issues. ECO2020EB, Government and Market, Hatanaka, Winter The objective of this course is to obtain skills to think of various kinds of policies in democratic countries, using economic logic or theory. First we will review market failure briefly and treat the various kinds of policies to maximize the social welfare and to relieve inequality, such as environmental policy, public enterprise, social insurance, anti-trust policy and so on. In the lectures I will not use math or equations but figures. We focus on the concept or the economic thinking of policies. ECO2060EA, Macroeconomics II,Rhodes,Fall (Ses.II) This course is an introduction to business cycle theory from a policy perspective. Using a variety of economic models, we study the nature and sources of macroeconomic fluctuations and potential policy responses. The primary analytical tool is general equilibrium (GE) analysis (IS-LM framework) applied to both closed and open economies. We examine the response of macroeconomic variables to various market “shocks” and to monetary, fiscal, and trade policies.

ECO2060EB,MacroeconomicsII,Fujimoto,Fall(Ses.II) This is the second course in the macroeconomics sequence. The course will cover broad topics, mostly related to short-run behaviors of the economy. ECO2610E,Finance and Economic Growth,TBA,TBA ECO2620E, Macroeconomic Management in Development, TBA,TBA ECO2720EA, Introduction to Applied Econometrics, CHEN Stacey, Fall In this course, I will introduce contemporary empirical methods for program evaluations, demonstrate how to apply those methods to data, and interpret the derived results. Every student taking the course for credits should write a research proposal at the beginning of Session II, and present the research results using real data at the end of the term. ECO2720EB, Introduction to Applied Econometrics, Wie, Fall Econometrics is the useful methodology of economics and other social studies. This course aims to introduce students to multiple regression and related methods to analyze data and connect data from the real world to economic models. We start by learning linear regression model which is widely used tool for economists. Additionally, we will study methods for panel data analysis, regression with binary variables, instrumental variables regression, and regression with time series data. This course focuses on developing practical methodology and applying them to real data using STATA. The mathematics of econometrics will be introduced only as needed and will not be a central focus. ECO2760E, Applied Time Series Analysis for Macroeconomics, Baak, Spring (Session I) The purpose of this course is two folds. The first is to teach students time series econometric and computational skills so that they can better understand extant research papers in the area of macroeconomics. The second is to help students to undertake their own time series analyses using the skills obtained in the course. The econometric skills taught in the course will include Tests for non-linearity, Co-integration Test, VAR, Error Correction Model. It will be illustrated how these skills can be used to explore issues in the area of Macroeconomics. Much emphasis of the course is placed on the applications of the skills to some macroeconomic issues. ECO2800E, Global Development Agendas and Japan's ODA, TBA, Spring

ECO2820E, Gender and Development, Estudillo, Spring (Session I) Gender disparities in health and education, economic opportunities, voice and agency are pervasive throughout the developing world although progress toward equality has been attained in some areas. This course explores the multifaceted aspects of gender inequality, find out where gender gaps have been closed, and identify priority areas to close the existing gender gaps. ECO2860E, Poverty Alleviation, Estudillo, Spring(Session II) Poverty alleviation represents the most important promise of the world to the most vulnerable people since the signing of the Millennium Declaration in September 2000. A stronger commitment on “ending poverty and sharing prosperity” was echoed in the Sustainable Development Goals ratified by the United Nations General Assembly last September 2015. This course identifies the multifaceted aspects of poverty, explores the underlying reasons why poverty persists, and spells out priority areas to eradicate poverty. ECO2870E, Strategy for Economic Development, Otsuka, Spring The purpose of this class is to analyze how to design effective strategy to develop agriculture and manufacturing industries to reduce poverty in low-income countries. Firstly, it is shown that while the poverty cannot be reduced without economic development, particularly the development of agriculture and industries. Secondly, an inquiry is made into the process of agricultural and industrial development empirically. Thirdly, an attempt will be made to demonstrate how agricultural and industrial development can be promoted by policy means. Finally, we discuss how to achieve economic development for poverty reduction without worsening climate change. ECO2880E, Trade and Industrial Development, Sonobe, Spring This course offers an introduction to the process of industrial development in developing countries and policies facilitating the sound development of industries. It begins by reviewing standard theories of firms, international trade, market failures, and technology transfers, which is followed by the review of case studies of industrial development in different countries. Toward the end, we will synthesize these previous studies and discuss strategies of industrial development. ECO2890E, Project Cycle Management and International Development Evaluation, TBA, TBA

ECO2900E, Game Theory, Ishihara, Winter This is an intermediate course in game theory. Game theory is broadly recognized as an important analytical tool in social science and other fields. The aim is to learn frameworks of game theory and apply them to understand strategic interaction and information problem. ECO3000E, Mathematics for Economic Analysis, Munro, Fall The aim of this course is to give students a mathematical background necessary for studying and working in economics. The course will cover basic analytical methods with a particular emphasis on static optimization, but will also introduce basic matrix analysis and dynamic optimization. The emphasis is firmly on the application of mathematical ideas to specific economic problems. ECO3100E, Theory of Public Finance, Ihori, Winter Course Description: In “Theory of Public Finance”, you will learn both expenditure side and revenue side analysis of public finance theory. The course outlines are given below: ECO3110E, Fiscal Reform in Japan, Ota, Winter In this course, we will discuss the current problems with Japan’s public finance policy and the necessary reforms to address them. Japan’s public finance faces several important issues. First, making a fiscal consolidation plan to lower the huge amount of government debt is urgent. We will review factors of financial deterioration, Japan’s budgeting system, and efforts for fiscal consolidation. Second, amid rapid population aging, implementing social security reform is difficult but very important. Although an excellent social security system was established in Japan after World War II, it now requires reforms to overcome rapid population aging. We discuss problems and reforms of the medical care system and pension system. Third, taxation reform in response to globalization and population aging is vital. In addition to the aforementioned issues, we will discuss other important issues such as local public finance, privatization, and public loan programs in Japan. Learning about these Japanese experiences in the field of public finance may be of value to your country. Students will be encouraged to discuss and analyze issues and problems in their own countries. ECO3130E, Economics of Tax Policy, Hasegawa,Spring The objective of this course is to acquire an in-depth understanding of the principles of taxation and the economics tools to analyze tax systems and policies. The final goal of this course is to apply the principles and tools to current tax policy issues as well as to

fundamental policy reform options. ECO3140E, Public Economics, TBA, TBA ECO3150E, Local Public Finance, Kook, Spring This course introduces basic functions of central and local governments. The course aims to understand the practices of local public finance in Japan as well as theoretical aspects on fiscal activities of local governments. In theoretical aspects, we deal with the decentralization theorem and its limitation, the optimal size of local authorities, the gains from fiscal decision-making at a local level, the topics of local tax revenue and user charges, and intergovernmental fiscal relations. While we mainly make use of the tools from the viewpoint of public finance theory, sometimes we also introduces the viewpoint of public choice approach. ECO3160E, Reform of Economic Policy in Japan, Ota, Spring This course will cover and discuss issues in formulating economic policy. The main topics for discussion include current conditions and weaknesses in Japan’s economy. Japan’s economy has three major weaknesses: lagging in globalization, low productivity in the service sector, and inflexibility in the labor market. We will discuss the structural problems behind these weaknesses and issues to be addressed. Economic structural reforms to achieve an increase in productivity or labor market reform will be useful to many Asian countries in which population ageing will proceed rapidly. In addition, we will discuss the role of the government from the view point of economic growth, such as tax reform for economic growth, and the relationship between fiscal consolidation and economic growth. ECO3170E, Labor Economics, CHEN Stacey, Fall (Session II) This course focuses on the recent literature on empirical labor economics. This year I will focus on 4 themes: (1) skill biased technical change and globalization, (2) household and family environment, (3) human capital, and (4) program evaluation. We will study these topics by discussing one or two papers in detail in each class. Select papers typically have strong motivation, good micro data, and clear identification. The purpose of this course is to provide good research ideas for future research. ECO3180E, Health Economics, TBA, TBA ECO3190E, Economics of Education and Labor,TBA,TBA

ECO3200E, Economics of Law, Hatanaka, Spring This course aims at examining laws by using applied microeconomic theory and provides you with the main logic of economic theory to understand the roles of laws. The objective of this course is (1) to evaluate systems or laws in the sense of social welfare (2) to legislate in order to maximize the social welfare. So each provision of laws is not treated in this course. In addition we will treat the problems of corruption. ECO3210E, Competition and Regulatory Economics, TANAKA Makoto, Spring This course examines firms and industries from the perspectives of industrial organization and regulatory economics. First, we discuss oligopoly and monopoly, with an emphasis on oligopoly theory. Our primary focus will be the strategic behavior of firms. We next discuss the effect of government regulations, focusing on price regulation of public utilities. This course also serves as a foundation course to prepare students for further study in the area of advanced industrial organization and regulatory economics. Knowledge of microeconomics is desirable. ECO3300E, Urban Economics, OKAMOTO Ryosuke, Spring This course is intended for second-year Ph.D. students or over (not for master’s students). This course introduces major theoretical and empirical analyses selected in the field of urban economics. The students are supposed to have knowledge of standard microeconomics for Ph.D. students, ECO3310E, Transportation Economics, Kidokoro, Winter The purpose of this lecture is to understand the basic theory of transport economics and to apply the method to actual transport policies. ECO3340E, Urban Development and Real Estate Policy, TBA, TBA ECO3400E, International Trade, Hsu, Spring (Ses. I) This course will introduce basic concepts, tools and facts to understand the flow of goods across countries, i.e. international trade. We will investigate why nations trade, what they trade, and who gains from international trade. We will also analyze countries' motives for regulating international trade and the effects of such policies on economic welfare. ECO3450E, International Finance, Xing, Winter This course introduces basic concepts, tools and facts to understand international financial markets and open economies. It focuses on the theory of exchange rates,

the balance of payments and major policies related with open economies. The IS-LM model is used to analyze the dynamics of output, monetary policy and exchange rates. Exchange rate regimes and macroeconomic impacts are also discussed. ECO3460E, Global Economy, Monetary Policy and Central Banking, Kinoshita, Spring The series of financial crises we have experienced in the past decade have expanded the roles central banks play in the global economy. In this light, this course intends to provide a factual description of modern-day central banks and their policy actions. The lecture will primarily cover the practical, operational and institutional aspects of central banking, based on the instructor’s experience working at the Bank of Japan. But, in order to facilitate and deepen the students’ understanding, the instructor will also compare real world central banking with academic thinking on monetary economics. Therefore, this course is recommended not only for students who intends to seek their career in the field of central banking or public finance, but also for those who are interested in other areas of economic policies or social policies. Many aspects of central banking decision making are applicable to a broad range of public policy, because many of challenges facing central banks are similar to those facing policy makers in other areas of the public sector. ECO3470E, Empirics of Macroeconomic Policies and International Finance, TBA, TBA ECO3510E, Environmental Economics, Munro,Spring Environmental issues, such as climate change, renewable resource management, air quality and various types of pollution are key problems faced by many nations. The aim of this course to create a basic understanding of how economics can be used to value environmental services and to design environmental policies. The course mixes theory with international examples and a discussion of policy. The sessions will involve lectures and class discussion. The topics, level and schedule may change, depending on your understanding and interests. Except where stated, all the reading is from the required textbook. ECO3520E, Economics of Climate Change,TBA,TBA ECO3530E, Resource and Energy Economics, TANAKA Makoto, Winter This course focuses on theoretical developments in the area of resource, environment, and energy economics. The course is divided into two parts: (1) efficient control of pollution, (2) efficient management of exhaustible

(non-renewable) and renewable natural resources. Both static and dynamic frameworks will be discussed. Knowledge of microeconomics is desirable. ECO3600E, Contemporary Japanese Economy, Kojima, Fall We discuss about Japanese economy from around 1970 up to today, focusing the late 1980’s bubble economy creation followed by long stagnation and hard adjustment period for macro and micro policies, business management. Japan’s society also has been under strong pressure with the background of ever more globalized and competitive world economic climate, changing demographic conditions, technological paradigm shift, value judgment changes and so on. The course is constructed in such a way that all the students can be put to the very front line today’s policy discussion using various documents and reports. Active participation by the students to the class discussion is strongly recommended. Class attendance is important. ECO3610E, Japanese Economy, AkihiroNakamura,Spring This course examines key issues in understanding Japanese economy. It covers major historical events since 1960’s and today’s great challenges Japan needs to address. Students are expected to learn some useful lessons from Japan’s experiences and policy making. ECO3630E,Japanese Financial System,Rhodes,Spring This course examines the postwar evolution of the Japanese financial system (JFS) from the perspectives of economic history, modern political economy, and comparative economic systems. The focus is the Japanese system of macroeconomic and financial regulation. The fundamental question addressed is why the JFS worked so (apparently) well in the highly-regulated early periods but floundered in the post-liberalization era. ECO3640E, Financial Economics, Miyakawa, Spring(Session I) ECO3650E,Topics on Modern Japanese Economy,TBA,TBA ECO3660E,Empirical Finance,Hayashi,Spring(Ses. II) This is a course on application of econometrics to asset pricing. The econometric techniques we use are GMM (generalized method of moments) and ML (maximum likelihood). They are applied to study the pricing of various assets, including stocks, bonds, commodity futures, and foreign exchange. ECO3700E, Econometrics/Quantitative Methods, TBA, TBA

ECO3710E, Time Series Analysis, Ikeda, Spring This is an introductory course in time series econometrics for MA students. The examples of economic time series data include GDP, Inflation, Aggregate Consumption, Money Supply, Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Stock Prices, Volatility Index, etc. Working knowledge of time series econometrics is indispensable for those who are interested in macroeconomics, monetary economics, international economics and finance. You are supposed to work on a homework assignment every week using datasets. For analyses of these datasets, students are required to learn how to use EVIEWS software. I will review (briefly and quickly) the basics of statistics and econometrics in Week 1 to 3. I promise you that this course will be very rewarding in the end, in return for your hard working. ECO3720E, Cost Benefit Analysis I, Kidokoro,Winter The purpose of this lecture is to understand the basic theory of cost-benefit analysis and to apply the method to actual policy analyses. ECO3730E, Cost Benefit Analysis II, Kanemoto,Spring This course is a sequel to Cost Benefit Analysis I and applies the concepts and techniques learned there to actual public policies. Students are required to conduct real-world case studies. ECO3740E, Economic Modeling for Policy Simulations, Hosoe, Spring This course exposes students to macro-economic models which are useful to analyze various policy issues for developing countries as well as developed ones by simulating counter-factual situations. The aim of this course is to have students acquire practical modeling skills on PCs for empirical policy analysis and/or for academic research works. Thus, this course is designed so that students can learn both of theoretical frameworks of the economic models (as exemplified below), programming with numerical computation software, and their empirical implementation for policy simulation purposes through developing simple and then sophisticated models by themselves. ECO3810E, Economic Development of Japan, OHNO Kenichi, Spring Japan is unique in achieving catch-up type industrialization very early. This course will discuss the causes, processes and results of Japan's industrialization from the viewpoints of economics, politics and social change. It will offer large amounts of data and visual materials as well as summaries of scholarly research and debates. We will examine Meiji and Post-WW2 periods, when rapid industrialization took place, as well as other periods and war years. We will pay particular attention to

the following questions: 1. Why did Japan succeed in industrialization as the first non-Western latecomer as early as in the late 19th century? 2. Interaction of external influences and domestic capability in the industrialization process. 3. Interaction of economic and political/social factors. 4. How dynamic was the private sector, and how did it respond to new challenges? 5. How did the government support industrialization? What mistakes did it make? After the initial overview session, lectures will proceed chronologically from the Edo period (17th-mid 19th c) to present. Questions and comments are encouraged in class. ECO3830E, Issues of Policy Advisers to Developing Countries, H. Hashimoto, Summer As part of economic assistance programs, a great number of policy advisers are sent to developing countries by developed countries. Many issues, such as their objectives and qualifications, have been discussed vigorously in both sending and receiving countries. This course focuses on an analysis of these issues, not only by reviewing the contemporary advisers but also by comparing them with “employed foreigners” received by the pre-modern Japan around 1870. An attempt is also made to analyze these policy advisers in the contract theory framework such as common agency. Through the course, we will try to think of how to improve the “effectiveness” of those policy advisers. ECO3840EA, Development Economics, KIJIMA Yoko, Winter The objective of this course is to introduce basic theoretical framework (microeconomics) so that students can think about practical development issues as economists. ECO3840EB,Development Economics,Estudillo,Winter This course aims to familiarize students with the problems and issues that are fundamental to developing countries. ECO3850E,Conflict, Aid and Development,TBA,TBA ECO3870E,Agricultural Development,Matsumoto,Fall In this course, we will focus on studies of empirical microeconomics in agriculture and rural societies. Every two weeks, we will study a topic. A lecture will be given in the first week of each topic and we will have a discussion session in the following week. By the end of the course, students are expected to choose a topic and write a literature review on it.

ECO3880E, Asian Financial Markets, ITO Takatoshi, Spring (Session II) This course will give an overview of history, function, and future prospects of the financial markets in Asian countries (mainly ASEAN-10, Japan, Korea, China, and India). How financial supervision and regulation should be formed will be examined too. Japanese and Asian financial markets went through fundamental changes in the late 1990s. The Japanese banking crisis and the Asian financial crisis in 1997-98 were instrumental in causing changes. Since the Asian crisis was such a huge event that changed the course of the Asian financial markets and policies, the first part of the course will be dedicated to analysis of the crisis. It is so timely to look back to the experiences, now that we have a different kind of crisis in the different parts of the world now. The second part of the course will deal with the current conditions of the financial and capital markets of the Asian countries. The differences in the development states, the exchange rate regime and supervisory institutions will be described. Whether Asian countries are vulnerable or resilient to domestic and external shocks will be analyzed. ECO3910E, Experimental Economics, TBA, TBA ECO4100E, Workshop in Public Finance, Ihori, Fall through Summer This is a course devoted to producing a thesis (policy paper) on a topic related to public finance. In this course, students are provided with personal instruction by a faculty advisor in an intimate environment, and several opportunities to present both their ongoing and completed policy papers. Students are supported in the writing process by individual consultation with faculty members of the Center for Professional Communication (CPC). This course is part of the requirement for all the Public Finance Program students. ECO5200E, Public Sector in Japan, Ihori, Fall This course presents a theoretical-based analysis of understanding the public sector in Japan. We analyze Japan's underperforming public sector, and develop and recommend policy solutions aimed at achieving Japan's growth potential, improving the quality of public sector for the Japanese people, and strengthening public sector's contribution to Japanese economy. ECO6000E, Advanced Microeconomics I, Ishihara, Fall (Session I) This is the first course in the sequence of advanced microeconomics.

The topics covered include public goods, externalities, and asymmetric information. Applied theory topics in public economics will also be covered, including optimal taxation, fiscal competition, and environmental regulation. ECO6030E, Advanced Microeconomics IV, Munro, Spring (Session II) Experiments have become one of the main methods economists use to test theories and policy proposals. Behavioural economics has become an important tool in theory and for policy. Together, they are widely used in areas such as regulation, public economics, environmental economics, development and industrial organisation. The approach of experimental economists has changed economic theory and strongly influenced developments in econometric methodology. The aim of this course to create a basic understanding of experimental methods and results along with some behavioural models, suited to PhD students who may be considering writing a thesis in a rapidly expanding area. ECO6050E, Advanced Macroeconomics I, Porapakkarm, Fall (Session I) This is the first course in the Ph.D. macroeconomics sequence. The course will emphasize the methods to solve dynamic macroeconomic problems. Specifically, we will learn about applied dynamic programming and its application on optimal growth models and dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models (DSGE). Two solution methods, namely value function iteration and log-linearization, will be repeatedly utilized to analyze this class of macro models. The class lectures, assigned problems, and the exam will focus on analytic solutions and the underlying economic intuition. Numerical solutions, which require computer programming skills, will be briefly discussed in class. Throughout the course, we will assume a representative household/firm and frictionless markets. These assumptions will be relaxed in the later courses in this sequence.

ECO6060E, Advanced Macroeconomics II, Fujimoto, Fall (Session II) This is the second course in the Ph.D. macroeconomics sequence. In contrast to Advanced Macro I, which discussed RBC models and growth models, the course will cover various models of money. The course will also discuss some models of open economy macroeconomics. ECO6070E,Advanced Macroeconomics III,Hsu,Winter This course will focus on some selected topics of economic growth, social insurance programs, population aging, aggregate labor market, government financing issues, and their effects on macroeconomy and social welfare. We will learn from some sample papers and try to replicate their analysis as a beginning step to develop a PhD level research paper. ECO6080E, Advanced Macroeconomics IV, Ikeda, Spring (Session I) This is a graduate course of macro-finance. Students are required to buy and read John Cochrane’s “Asset Pricing” (Revised Edition). The topics include the economics of uncertainty such as the expected utility theory, contingent claims, risk aversion and stochastic dynamic programming; mean-variance efficiency and Consumption CAPM; testing efficient market hypothesis and aggregate return predictability; the equity premium puzzle; and the term structure of interest rates. I will cover a few chapters and students are supposed to report selected topics. ECO6610E, Applied Macroeconomics of Public Policy, Hsu, Spring (Session I) This course will introduce heterogeneous-agent stochastic DSGE models and focus on some selected topics of social insurance programs, population aging, aggregate labor market and government financing issues. Their effects on macroeconomy and social welfare will be also discussed. We will learn from some sample papers and try to replicate their analysis as a beginning step to develop a PhD level research paper. ECO6700E, Advanced Econometrics I, Arai, Winter This course covers basic topics in linear regression analysis. Those includes OLS, WLS, IV, 2SLS and GMM. “Introduction to Applied Econometrics (ECO272EA, EB, EC)” and “Mathematics for Economic Analysis (ECO300E)” or the equivalent knowledge on these topics are required. “Econometrics/Quantitative Methods (ECO 370E)” or the equivalent knowledge is not required but highly recommended. ECO6710E, Advanced Econometrics II, Arai,Spring(I) This course covers basic topics in microeconometrics. Those include MLE, binary response models, discrete

response models, censored regression models, sample selection models, and program evaluation. “Introduction to Advanced Econometrics I (ECO6700E)” or the equivalent knowledge on these topics are required. ECO6720E,Advanced EconometricsIII,Hayashi,Spring(II) This is a course on time series. The topics covered include: ARMA models, VARs, unit roots, and cointegration. ECO6730E, Advanced Econometrics IV, Ikeda, Fall(I) This is an introduction to a moment-based econometrics for Ph.D. students. I really hope any participants have basic knowledge about statistics and econometrics, but perhaps I need a quick review in an early stage. The moment-based framework can incorporate almost all regression techniques with substantial generalizations, and is also useful for a systematic understanding of difference-in-difference (DID), regression discontinuity design (RDD), and even the randomized controlled trials (RCT). I have an ambition to cover the dynamic panel quantile regression approach this year. Slides will be distributed. ECO6770E, Computer Programming for Economics, Porapakkarm, Fall (Session II) The course will cover MATLAB programming. The objective is to make students familiar with MATLAB programming and to introduce some numerical methods used in applied economic research. The covered topics are useful for students who plan to take Advanced Macroeconomics III and IV. The best way to learn about programming is learning-by-doing; so the teaching style of this course emphasizes learning from sample codes used to compute some algorithm or to solve specific economic problems. ECO7720E, Economic Analysis of Urban and Regional Policy, TBA, TBA EDU2000E, Education Policy, OKAMOTO Kaoru, Winter This course is to provide students with the following opportunities. 1.

The course is offered through a mix of lectures and workshops. Students will be exposed to a range of international development topics and contemporary policy debates. The East Asian perspectives of aid and development will also be introduced. GEN5000E, GRIPS Forum, Yokomichi, Fall, Spring GRIPS makes use of its network to invite eminent Japanese and foreign leaders in various fields as guest speakers to present lectures at GRIPS Forum. The primary objective of this forum is to deepen the knowledge and understanding of various policy issues. The GRIPS Forum is not only for all GRIPS students but also for faculty members and those coming from outside of GRIPS. Since Japanese and foreign students belong to different programs, GRIPS Forum is a very precious opportunity for them, including faculty members, to get together to consider and discuss subjects and issues of common interests. Simultaneous interpretation between English and Japanese is provided during the forum. GEN5010E, Introduction to Public Policy Studies, Horie, Petchko, Fall Public policy is studied in various fields of sciences by various approaches. Not only researchers but also professionals need to have a wide range of knowledge

and keen interest in various aspects of public policy and related government and administrative systems In view of such necessity, this course is organized to introduce students of public policy and public administration into the world of public policy studies. As an introduction, major subjects and issues in public policy studies are briefly discussed with references to specific cases in Japan and other countries. In addition, students will be given practical training in research and communication skills. They will become familiar with various academic specialties (areas of concentration) offered at GRIPS, learn the style and requirements of academic writing, and receive guidance on writing a research proposal. By the end of the course, students should have selected a concentration area and presented a preliminary proposal for either a policy paper or thesis. GGG2580E, Leading a Nation in the Changing World, TBA, TBA GGG5010EA/B, Policy Debate Seminar I, Sonobe, Winter GGG5020EA/B, Policy Debate Seminar II, Sonobe, Spring All MP1, MP2 and G-cube students and are required to take this course. It will survey major theories of public administration, political science, and economics and then discuss how these theories are applied to solve major policy issues in the real world.

GGG5110E, Tutorial I, Various, Fa/Wint/Sp/Su GGG5120E, Tutorial II, Various, Fa/Wint/Sp/Su GGG5130E, Tutorial III, Various, Fa/Wint/Sp/Su GGG5140E, Tutorial IV, Various, Fa/Wint/Sp/Su GGG5150E, Tutorial V, Various, Fa/Wint/Sp/Su All G-cube students are required to take three tutorials before taking the qualifying exam. Tutorials can begin in the following way. Students with a specific topic of study are encouraged to talk to a professor with research interest related to the topic. If the professor agrees to have a tutorial with the students, they make a reading list and schedule. They may also allow some other students sharing the same interest to join them. The tutorial is a small class with one tutor (that is, professor) and 2 to 5 students and no more than 5. The students participating in a tutorial must be registered with the Academic Support Team during the registration period at the beginning of each term. A tutorial may be Tutorial I for a participant if it is his or her first tutorial, but the same tutorial may be Tutorial III for another participant if it is his or her third. Once a tutorial gets

started, it lasts for 15 sessions (each session for 90 minutes) or equivalent class time and has to be completed within that term. Students read materials and form an opinion in advance and discuss with fellow students and the tutor during the class. The tutor listens to students’ arguments and guides their discussion. Another important role of tutorials is to provide writing skill training. The tutor should require students to write short essays, summaries, and/or papers. GOV1200E, Institutions in International Relations, Takagi, Winter Policymakers are working in, changing, and creating institutions in international relations (IR). There seems to be no consensus on how and why institutions matter in IR, however. Some indeed cast serious doubt on the roles of institutions, while others argue that institutions do matter. This course considers roles of institutions in international relations by reviewing major events in IR since the 19th Century. With a review of actual history, this course aims to deepen our understanding what institutions are, how and why they have evolved and mattered, as well as how and why they have changed or remained. GOV1300E, Institutions in Policymaking, Takagi, Spring Policymakers are working in, changing, or creating institutions. This course provides basic knowledge and theoretical framework to understand roles of political institutions in policymaking in the following order. First, students get basic image what institutions mean in this course by studying basic works in the field of economic policymaking. Second, they study formation and transformation of modern state as broader institutional settings for policymaking. Third, they grasp the essentials of comparative studies by reading works on varieties of democracy, capitalism, welfare state, liberalization, and social policy reform. Fourth, they study various forms of institutional change with theoretical framework of historical and discursive institutionalism. GOV1200E, Institutions in International Relations, Takagi, Winter Where can we find human agencies in international relations? Some say that we should study systems or structures instead of individuals to understand international relations. What are diplomats, aid-workers, and other international policymakers doing then? What are various regional or international conferences organized by hundreds of people both in government and non-government sector for then? In this course, we consider roles of human agencies in international relations by revisiting institutions in international

relations. This is because, most of human agencies have engaged in international relations through various forms of institutions. Another feature of this course can be found its attention to history. We review various forms of historical approach including historical institutionalism in general to study international relations. By focusing agency and history, the course considers existing institutions as well as institutional changes in international relations. GOV1300E, Institutions in Policymaking, Takagi, Spring Policymakers are working in, changing, or creating institutions. This course provides basic knowledge and theoretical framework to understand roles of political institutions in policymaking in the following order. First, students get basic image what institutions mean in this course by studying basic works in the field of economic policymaking. Second, they study formation and transformation of modern state as broader institutional settings for policymaking. Third, they grasp the essentials of comparative studies by reading works on varieties of democracy, capitalism, welfare state, liberalization, and social policy reform. Fourth, they study various forms of institutional change with theoretical framework of historical and discursive institutionalism. GOV1400E, International Relations in East Asia, Shiraishi and Takagi, Fall The course focuses on grand strategy, how states are responding to the changing balance of power in the region of East Asia/Asia Pacific/Indo-Pacific while positioning themselves in the transnational political economic processes driven by forces of globalization and regionalization. M.A. students are expected to attend all the lectures, do required readings and make presentations on security and foreign policy issues of their own collective choice on Week 12 and 13. Ph.D. students are expected to attend all the lectures and participate in separate seminar sessions. They are also required to do all the required and recommended readings and to write a double-spaced 2-3 page essay every time when we meet for separate seminar sessions, due noon on Wednesday for each session. GOV1450E, Diplomatic History of Modern Japan, Kitaoka and Pressello, Fall This class examines several major issues of Japanese diplomacy since the end of Yedo Period through the Pacific war. Major foci are the changing international order in East Asia, the intellectuals’ perceptions of the international environment, and the decision-making processes of foreign policies in Japan and other countries. The purpose of this class is not to give a detailed

understanding of Japan’s diplomacy. Rather it is intended to study Japan’s foreign relations in a comparative perspective with not only other Asian countries but also with such European countries as Germany and Italy both of which were integrated into one nation at about the same time as Japan. GOV1900E, Comparative Development Studies of Asia, Kawano, Spring This class will survey both “Society, State and Market” in Asian developing countries today, and the development concepts and theories. The class seeks to inform students of historical and contemporary dynamics of economic development, with a focus on social and political issues of some countries in Asia and comparative perspectives. Students are required to read literatures on the theories of development and the assigned materials regarding the specific theme, and to participate in the classroom discussion as well as to write a term report. Some specialists are invited as the guest lecturer. GOV2100E, Government and Politics in Japan, Masuyama, Fall Why do people vote the way they do? Why do politicians behave the way they do? Why do political organizations operate the way they do? A growing number of political scientists are attempting to answer these and other questions within an integrated intellectual framework known as rational choice, which assumes that individuals have certain goals, and that they strive to satisfy those goals in the most efficient manner possible. This course covers an overview of Japanese politics, and themes and writings of interest to political scientists. In particular, this course explores how Japanese politics works from three perspectives: (1) voters, (2) politicians, and (3) political organizations, with a special emphasis placed on insights from rational choice models of political behavior. GOV2200EA, International Relations, Iwama, Fall This course is intended to provide introduction into the study of international relations as well as some understanding of the more recent happenings in global politics. After examining the major theoretical approaches, we will cover the history of the modern state system in order to better understand the nature of the change world system is now facing. Thereafter we will examine different aspects of the challenge we are facing today and compare different perspectives. GOV2200EB,International Relations,Yamamoto, Fall The purpose of this course is to grasp an overall picture of international relations, to examine each of the major theories of international relations and to enhance

research capabilities of the students. The scope of theories in this course covers a set of macro-international relations theories and of micro-foreign policies theories. The macro-international relations theories include realism, liberalism, structuralism and constructivism (and others if necessary). The micro-foreign policy theories extend from foreign policy analysis, decision making, to two level games (which deals with the relationship between foreign policy and domestic politics) and to multilateral negotiations.

GOV2210E,International Political Economy,Chey, Fall This course introduces students to International Political Economy (IPE), the study of the complex interplay of economics and politics in the world arena. The course answers two main questions: 1) what are the political causes of the evolving structure of the world economy? and 2) what are the implications of this evolving world economic structure for national policy choice and for domestic politics? The emphasis of the course is not upon the technical aspects of international economics or economic theory, but rather upon the political and institutional contexts in which they operate.

GOV2230E, Japanese Foreign Policy, Kitaoka, and Pressello, Spring The main purpose of this course is to provide a basic understanding of Japanese foreign policy. Lectures are mainly given along the historical development, but along the issues in some cases as is shown below. Much attention will be paid to the relationship between foreign policy and domestic politics. It is desirable to have minimum knowledge of Japan’s prewar diplomacy since Meiji period.

GOV2240E, International Security Studies, Michishita,Wint. The course aims to broaden the understanding on contemporary security issues in both theory and practice. First, it will discuss issues such as the nature of war, international relations theories, nuclear issues, intelligence, and private military and security companies (PMSCs). Second, the course will focus on Japan’s security policy, and will examine the security challenges facing Japan, notably North Korea and China. And third, it will cover “non-traditional” security issues such as global terrorism, insurgencies, peacebuilding, and the arctic etc.

GOV2280E, Military Operations, Strategy, and Policy, Michishita, et al., Winter This course is designed to give students an understanding

of military operational issues in war and peace as well as in theory and practice. Major subjects of this course include: 1) origins of contemporary military operations, organizations, strategies and doctrines in order to understand how they have been developed; 2) recent changes in environment in which military operations are conducted in order to understand major characteristics of operational environment that today’s military faces as new phenomena; and 3)modern concepts of military operations, org., and doctrines in order to understand how future military operations would be conducted.

GOV2310E, Comparative Politics, Takenaka, Fall This is a graduate course on comparative politics for the YLP and public policy. The course aims to expose students to major issues on development of democracy and democratization with concrete examples taken from some Southeast Asian countries. The course puts weights on discussions based on the readings. Although this course might ask for quite a few work loads on the part of students, please be assured you will get basic understand- ings of democratization with concrete examples as well as key mechanism of democracy.

GOV2320E, Comparative State Formation, Onimaru, Spring This seminar explores how state, especially “modern state,” was formed historically and comparatively. Students are required to read assigned books on state formations in Europe, Africa, Latin America, China, Japan and Southeast Asia, to write a feedback paper based on reading every week, and to submit it till one day before the class.

GOV2460E, State and Politics in Southeast Asia, Khoo, Winter The states and politics of Southeast Asia have been significantly shaped by key legacies of colonial rule and powerful imperatives of post-colonial development. Different regimes, institutions and frameworks of governance have emerged that must grapple with such issues as the institutionalization of power, effectiveness of leadership, changing social bases of mobilization, outcomes of development strategies, and challenges of organized dissent. This course approaches such issues in a comparative and multidisciplinary manner to develop a broad understanding of some pressing themes, including the persistence of authoritarian and oligarchic rule, shifting balances between states and markets especially under conditions of economic crisis, and the difficulties of managing socio-cultural divides.

GOV2470E, State and Politics in Africa, TAKEUCHI Shinichi, Fall The state in Africa has attracted considerable attention


― 62 ―

from academics as well as practitioners, particularly because African predicaments like underdevelopment and civil wars have been often attributed to the dysfunction of the state. Investigating the African state is indispensable for understanding its politics and finding possible solutions of the predicaments. From this perspective, the course aims at deepening the understanding of African states and politics. GOV2580E, Structure and Process of Government, Horie, Spring This course is intended to study the systems and operations of structures and processes of government from comparative viewpoints and to contribute to the reform of government and public administration. Major issues of administrative reform will be discussed from theoretical as well as practical viewpoints. Relying basically on the framework of comparative analysis worked out by C. Pollitt and G. Bouckaert, key features of government and public administration will be discussed in the course. While the cases in Japan will be dealt with in detail, based on academic studies and practical experiences of the instructor, students are also expected to make a contribution to the discussion by infusing their first-hand information and analyses on the topics of discussion. GOV2640E, National Security Policy, TBA, TBA GOV3110E, Political Economy of Modern Japan, Tsunekawa, Spring Economic development seldom proceeds without political strife or interventions (both domestic and international). In this course, students are required to read and discuss experiences (both success and failure) of Japan between the Meiji Restoration and the Great East Japan Earthquake. Students are to read literatures on the theories of political economy, on debates about Japan’s political economy, and on various aspects of economic transformation and political change in modern Japan. Students are required to read all assigned materials, participate in the classroom discussion actively, and to write a term paper. GOV3220E, Politics of Global Money and Finance, Chey, Fall This course addresses the international political economy of money and finance, a central issue area in International Political Economy (IPE). The course has two main themes: 1) understanding the political causes of the evolving structure of the international monetary and financial system over time, and 2) analyzing the implications of this evolving structure for national policy choice and domestic and international politics. The focus of the course is not on the technical aspects of

international financial market operation or international finance theories, but rather on the political and institutional contexts in which they operate. GOV3230E, Transnational Organized Crime and Security, Fukumi, Summer This course intends to explore transnational organized crime regarded as the major non-traditional security threat. Since the end of the Cold War, new threats came to recognize in the sphere of Security Studies. To what extent non-traditional security threats differ from the traditional threats? This course will cover issues related to transnational organized crime with the particular emphasis on drug trafficking (for example, the nature of non-traditional security threats, the threats posed by them and counter-measures), and theories to analyze the phenomena. GOV3240E, Non-Traditional Security, Honna, Winter The aim of this course is to learn about the changing paradigm of security studies in the 21st Century. New security concepts, such as human security, environmental security, humanitarian intervention, and health security, are discussed in the class in order to highlight major "non-traditional" security challenges in the age of globalism. Students are expected to understand new security challenges during the post-Cold War era, the problems of regional security architectures today, and the prospects for deepening regional security cooperation to deal with these non-traditional security issues. GOV3250E, International Relations of the Asia Pacific, Yamamoto, TBA GOV3270E, Topics on International Relations, Tanaka Akihiko, Fall GOV3310E, Comparative Political Economy, Kanchoochat, Fall This course provides a graduate-level introduction of comparative political economy by exploring key analytical approaches, major debates, and empirical analyses in the field, with special reference to the political economy of development. The course is organized into three parts. Part I surveys three main analytical approaches to political economy, focusing on interests, ideas, and institutions as alternative explanatory variables. Part II reviews contemporary development theories and debates necessary for understanding varying economic performances. Our focus is on: state and state capacity; industrial and trade policy; and institutions, governance, and growth. Part III traces the development trajectories across regions. Even though the emphasis is placed on East and Southeast Asia, the discussion covers differing experiences learned

empower the private sector as the engine of growth. The objectives of the course are: a) to analyze key issues of policy and institutional reforms; b) to review effectiveness of reform/adjustment programs; and c) to draw lessons. The course will be a combination of lectures and class discussions. PAD2650E, Modernization of Financial Sector, Nunami, Spring The purpose of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge regarding the function of financial markets and financial institutions, and thereby to promote basic understanding about how to maintain and improve stability of the financial system as a whole through various prudential policies. In this connection, the course will cover broad topics such as supervision of financial institutions, regulation of financial markets and market infrastructure, macroprudential policies, central banking, and exchange rate policies. In particular, the course will focus on experiences of the recent global financial crisis, and will discuss lessons learnt from the crisis and policy challenges ahead, including issues regarding how to further enforce international policy coordination in bank supervision, such as Basel III. In addition, Japan s experiences after the burst of bubbles in 90s and 00s will be reviewed, with special emphasis on why it took so long to address non-performing loan problems in Japan. The instructor expects that his experiences of 35 years as a central banker at the Bank of Japan will help students gain practical insight into those policy issues. PAD2670E, Public Expenditure Management, Tanaka Hideaki, Fall This course is intended to provide a framework for thinking about how governments can attain sound fiscal performance and to give guidance on the key elements of a well-performing public expenditure management (PEM). PEM is concerned with the planning, management, control and accountability of public financial resources and typically includes budgeting, financial management, accounting and auditing. The course presents the theoretical and practical setting for the management of financial resources in the government sector. Students can learn best practices on PEM in the world. Across the world, recent reforms have seen the transfer of management authority from central government to line agencies, and budget and accounting systems adopt more commercially focused models. It is so called, "New Public Management". The course will also examine the idea of NPM critically, and discuss the transformation of public sector and public governance in the wider sense. The course will focus on not only experiences in developed countries including Japan but also those in developing countries. Students will be

encouraged to discuss and analyze issues and problems in their own countries. PAD2680E, Social Security System in Japan, Ono, Winter This course aims to provide a considerable level of knowledge on Social Security System in Japan, and also to discuss lessons learnt from the experiences of Japan and implications for other countries.

Strictly, there is no international taxation and each nation imposes taxes. However, in order to study international taxation, tax laws and tax treaties are the starting points to examine international taxation system. Tax issues arising from international transactions are categorized into taxation on nonresident and permanent establishment, controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules (Anti-Tax Haven measures), transfer pricing and tax treaties, including elimination of international double taxation. These issues have been discussed in OECD as Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS). United Nations also has been participating in the discussions relating to issues above, advocating growing perception of developing countries. I give major emphasis in this course to transfer pricing. We will discuss transfer pricing issues practically, for example, through case studies, comparative analysis of OECD transfer prcong guidelines and Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing of United Nations and etc., considering the differences in the standing points between developed countries and emerging countries. PFP5010E, Practicum at the National Tax Agency, Fall through Spring (Session I) This course aims to provide overseas tax officials with knowledge on Japanese tax systems and administration, and to contribute to the improvement of each country’s tax administration.

Overview of the Doctoral Program

Basic Philosophy The basic philosophy behind the GRIPS doctoral program is to nurture the following types of human resources: 1. Highly qualified researchers in the field of policy studies 2. Public administrators with professional expertise and skills in policy analysis based on an academic framework

Educational Goals The GRIPS doctoral program will, over its standard training period of three years, offer students educational instruction with the view to nurturing in them the following abilities: 1. Advanced policy study capabilities based on academic methods that measure up to international standards 2. Instruction in the various fields of discipline essential for pursuing a career in policy studies 3. The ability to write academic theses. A thesis submitted for evaluation under the GRIPS doctoral program must meet the following three conditions in order to be awarded a Ph.D./doctoral degree.

1. It must have policy-relevancy or policy implication 2. It must take into account previous trends and studies (both Japanese and international) in the relevant academic field, as well as present something original of its own 3. It must either be built on an outstanding analysis of a specific policy, or a retrospective historical research/case-study taken up from a fresh perspective, which shows great analytical acumen The thesis must fulfill at least one of the following requirements in order to be considered as having achieved the above: 1. A part of the results of the study must have been published or accepted for publication in an academic journal based on a system of peer review 2. The results of the study must have either already been or be scheduled for commercial publication (includes subsidy publishing) 3. The results of the study must be recognized to be of a standard comparable to 1. or 2. above

Established Programs There are nine programs under the GRIPS doctoral program: GRIPS Global Governance Program (G-cube), Policy Analysis, Public Policy, Security and International Studies, State Building and Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation Policy, Disaster Management, Japanese Language and Culture, and Policy Professionals. For details, please refer to Table 1.

Requirements for Doctoral Students

Course Guidance The doctoral degree requirements are different for different programs, but there are requirements common to all the programs, as follows. Students are required to: take courses following the guidance of the individual student’s Advisory Committee, pass the Qualifying Examination (hereafter QE); prepare a doctoral dissertation following the guidance of the Advisory Committee; submit the dissertation to the Doctoral Thesis Review Committee; and successfully defend the thesis at the final thesis presentation. Students should consult each Tables for additional specific requirements and regulations related to required courses and QE.

Research Guidance System Research guidance under the GRIPS doctoral program will be provided by an Advisory Committee made up of several advisors, and will be based on each student’s research topic competence in the area and research capabilities. The Advisory Committee, consisting of the main advisor and up to three sub- advisors, will guide the student as to what courses to take, based on such factors as the student’s research plan and state of mastery of the various required subjects. The selection of courses shall be based on several disciplines: the main field and subfields and also fields that should be mastered by the student for the pursuit of his/her policy research.

Completion Requirements In order to complete the GRIPS doctoral program, a candidate must have passed the QE and the Ph.D./doctoral thesis defense. The following are brief descriptions of the QE and Ph.D./doctoral thesis defense. 1. In order to write a doctoral thesis, it is, as a rule,

required that students pass the QE, which is generally conducted around the end of the first academic year. To be allowed to take the QE, students must obtain required credits. For information on course requirements, see Table 2

"Program Requirements" as well as the curriculum of each program. Note that each program has some course requirements aside from QE related requirements.

2. The QE consists of both written and oral examinations (for the Policy Analysis Program, a Basic QE and a Field QE are conducted. See Table 3). The written examinations will be conducted for one subject given by the main advisor, and two other subjects (one in the case of the Policy Professionals Program) given by the other sub-advisors or other instructors approved by the main advisor and sub-advisors. The format (in-class, take-home, open book, and closed book) is chosen by the main advisor. The student must attain a score of at least 60% in every one of the subjects in order to obtain an overall pass. The oral examination will involve answering questions based on the student’s research plan or on his/her answers to questions in the written examination. Whether the student passes or fails will be determined by a discussion among all members of the Advisory Committee. Students who pass both the written and oral examinations are considered to have passed the QE. Students who are unable to pass either the written or oral examination the first time are allowed to take the QE a second time.

3. All Ph.D./doctoral candidates are required to

present the results of their research in the Ph.D./doctoral thesis defense, and demonstrate the validity, relevance, and academic contribution of their findings. The presentation is limited to no more than 50 minutes including time for clarifying questions. The Ph.D./doctoral thesis must be submitted to IPT in hard and soft copies at least four weeks before the final thesis defense. Copies will be sent to each Doctoral Thesis Review Committee member (for the composition of the committee, see below). For the model schedule of defense and graduation, see Table 4.

Evaluation

The Doctoral Thesis Review Committee of the final


― 87 ―

5

thesis defense must comprise: four or more persons including the members of the student’s Advisory Committee, who must hold Ph.D./doctoral degrees; at least one examiner from an external institution; and a professor who has not given any of the courses taken by the student either in the main or sub fields. The members of the Doctoral Thesis Review Committee should give an aggregate score (out of 5) for the thesis, the presentation and the Q&A. The committee’s decision is based on median scores. A median of 5 will be awarded a pass. If the median is less than 5, the committee members should give a new score after reviewing the revised version of the thesis. The reviewing-voting-revising process will continue until the median becomes 5 or 1. If the median becomes 1,

the committee recommends that the candidate should not be awarded the Ph.D. degree. If the median becomes 5, the Doctoral Thesis Review Committee determines that the thesis warrants granting of the degree but requires minor revisions. Then the candidate must submit the final version after having received the main advisor’s consent. The final version of the thesis must be submitted to IPT as both hard copy and soft copy (PDF). The soft copy is essential because by law all Ph.D./doctoral theses are required in principle to be published online. The degree will be conferred after being approved by the Doctoral Programs Committee and the GRIPS Academic Council.

Doctoral Programs

Five-Year Ph.D. Programs GRIPS Global Governance Program (G-cube) This Program aims to produce leader of leaders for

government, business, and international arenas. The world is faced with new and serious problems,

such as financial crises, terrorism, energy challenges, and environmental issues. A new type of leader is needed to address these problems and forge a path to a new age. This program will equip students with: (1) a broad

historical perspective, which will help them understand the true nature of policy issues and predict their overall impact, (2) strong analytical ability needed to develop insightful and effective policies, and (3) effective communication skills to convey ideas and opinions across languages, cultures, religions, and nationalities. All courses (including lectures, seminars, tutorials)

are conducted in English. Masters and doctorate courses are integrated into one

program. Although the usual time period needed to obtain the Ph.D. degree is five years, the minimum time period required to complete all the requirements for the Ph.D. degree is three years. After completing one year of coursework, students who have earned the required number of credits, and who have passed the Qualifying Examination (QE) may continue their study to pursue their doctorate while returning to their workplaces and resuming their jobs. Those students who satisfy the prescribed conditions

including a certain level of academic performance will be awarded a fellowship. After passing the QE, Ph.D. candidates will be given research funds that cover field surveys, interviews, and textbook expenses as required for a doctoral thesis. This program is open to those with a bachelor’s

degree from a recognized/accredited university, with the ability and will to become a leader of leaders. Preference is given to those who are interested in pursuing a career as a government official, or in international organizations. Policy Analysis Program This is a three to five-year program designed for student research and analysis of real-world policy issues, utilizing economics methodologies. 1. The Policy Analysis Program accepts students

whose main interest is economic analysis of public policy. The program offers specialization in Public Economics, Development Economics,

and International Economics. 2. Curriculum Features:

(a) Candidates in the program start from learning introductory economics and econometrics. They are not expected to start their research immediately. Instead, they are expected to develop their own interest and find their own research topics while taking various courses in the program.

(b) Economics and econometrics are required. The program requires all students to take introductory and advanced level courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics.

Three-Year Ph.D./Doctoral Programs Public Policy Program This program is designed for public administrators and researchers in the field of policy studies, who possess advanced expertise in policy analysis, in the fields of General, Politics, Social Systems Analysis, Development Policy, Cultural Policy, and Science and Technology Policy.

The Public Policy Program accepts students in the areas of social science except for economics. Economics-majored students should enroll in Policy Analysis Program.

Candidates are expected to conduct high-level policy research and possess the ability to commence their own research immediately. GRIPS graduates with Master’s Degree and those from other institutions with Master’s Degree are welcome to apply the program.

In addition to lectures and seminars, candidates also have opportunities to participate in more practical research activities while writing their dissertation. For example, they may get involved in on-going research projects at our Policy Research Center or participate in collaborative research with governmental research organizations that partner with GRIPS. Security and International Studies Program This program is designed to equip students with academic and practical skills for understanding and resolving security and foreign policy issues. Students will learn to do this by conducting in-depth research on historical and contemporary security and foreign policy matters, and engaging in theoretical as well as policy debates with faculty members and outside specialists. Graduates of this program are expected to become leading security and foreign policy specialists and practitioners in governmental/nongovernmental/international organizations, research institutions, universities, and other relevant entities. Courses and seminars are conducted in English. In the first year, students are required to undertake course work and earn a minimum of 14 credits from the courses and seminars. By the end of the first year, students are expected to pass three Written Qualifying Examinations (QEs), submit a dissertation prospectus, and pass in one Oral Qualifying Examination which is doctoral dissertation prospectus defense. After completing all four Qualifying Examinations, students can start writing a dissertation to complete it by the end of

the third year. State Building and Economic Development Program This program is designed for students interested in the interactions between the politics and the economy in developing countries and emerging economies. The program aims to develop talented individuals who are capable of research and policy formulation that require advanced knowledge of both political science and economics and who will play key roles in democratic governance in the world. This program is an outgrowth of the Global COE Program entitled “The Transferability of East Asian Development Strategies and State Building”, which GRIPS has implemented from 2008 to 2012. In the Global COE program, economists and political scientists have conducted joint studies and fostered young researchers and technocrats who are able to produce scientific evidence that will inform policy making. This Ph.D. program will expand on the success of the Global COE Program in such human resource development. During the first year of this Ph.D. program, students take courses in political science, economics and history intensively to acquire advanced knowledge and analytical skills at the Ph.D. level of proficiency. In and after the second year, students concentrate on field work, archival research, theoretical and empirical analyses, and writing their dissertation to earn a degree in three years. All courses in the program are offered in English. The dissertation, also to be written in English, must be relevant to state building and economic development. It must also demonstrate a capacity for making original and significant contributions to the existing knowledge base, and deal with a policy issue or have a policy implication. Students who fulfill the requirements will be conferred a Ph.D. in International Development Studies. In this program, the advisory committee for each student includes faculty members in both political science and economics in order to develop individuals with multiple points of view and analytical skills in both fields. To help students acquire a good sense of what is actually happening on the ground , each advisory committee comprises faculty members with a wealth of relevant experience in developing countries and emerging economies and encourages students research planning, data collection, analysis, and writing but also helps them succeed in publishing journal articles and books.

Disaster Management Program This program is designed to cultivate professionals who can educate researchers and take leadership in the planning and implementation of national/international strategies and policies in the field of water-related risk management.

Water-related disasters are intensifying in frequency and magnitude due to urbanization, industrialization, climate changes etc. throughout the world, causing devastating losses to human lives and livelihoods. They also seriously impede economic development.

It is increasingly evident that capacity development and human empowerment are the basis for resilient societies against disasters and sustainable development. In order to improve this basis, there is an urgent need for societies to increase their capacities for training researchers, educators and strategy/policy specialists for risk management.

It is to support countries in this respect that the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM), Public Works Research Institute (PWRI) jointly launch a Ph.D. program in October 2010. The broad aim of the program is to nurture professionals who can train researchers and take leadership in planning and implementation of national and international strategies and policies in the field of water-related risk management.

At the end of the first year, doctoral students are expected to submit a thesis proposal and pass a Qualifying Examination. In order to be eligible for a Qualifying Examination for Doctoral Dissertation, students must earn a minimum of 8 credits from the courses offered. In addition, students who are advised to take disaster management courses by their supervising committee must take these for up to 4 credits in Category I. After passing the Qualifying Examination, students can begin working on their dissertation in their second academic year, with the aim of completing the dissertation by the end of their third year. After starting dissertation work, students are required to report on research that they are planning or working on, at Ph.D. Candidate Seminars.

In addition to the completion of the dissertation, at least two papers should be published in peer reviewed relevant international journals before the awarding of the degree. (“Publish” here includes acceptance for publication.)

In addition, there are courses offered at the University of Tokyo.

Furthermore, PWRI is seeking candidates for ICHARM Research Assistantship positions. If

employed for the positions, students will be working at ICHARM as ICHARM Research Assistants. This provides an excellent opportunity for them to learn and experience the practical work of ICHARM while they carry out their own research. For those interested in the assistantship, visit the PWRI website for further information. Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Program This program is designed to equip government officials and practitioners with the skills needed to design, implement and evaluate policies and strategies related to science, technology and innovation based on a scientific approach, and trains other professionals to become experts in the theory and practice of policymaking There is a growing need for science, technology and innovation (STI) to address economic and societal challenges. Many national and local governments, universities, research institutions and companies have been trying to find ways to design more effective and efficient STI policies and strategies to realize innovation and sustainable growth.

This program aims to cultivate human resources who can apply a scientific approach in the planning, drafting, execution, evaluation and revision of STI policy and strategy. In particular, we intend to equip the administrative officials, practitioners and researchers with advanced skills for policy analysis, policy and strategy planning and implementation. They will become acquainted with the multiple disciplines, achieve research competence in various social science fields, and gain teaching ability in the higher education.

We host prominent professors who are experts on the research regarding science and technology policy from inside and outside Japan. To achieve more practical research education, the program also accommodates lecturers who are engaged on the frontline of current science and technology policies. Additionally, the program holds a range of research workshops and seminars and invites eminent researchers and practitioners, current policy administrators, politicians, and corporate representatives, among others.

The program is operated under the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and is provided in cooperation with the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP), the Center for Research and Development Strategy at Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST-CRDS) and the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI).

Graduate Program in Japanese Language and Culture This program is designed for Japanese-language educators with the linguistic and cultural expertise for providing high-quality Japanese-language education and research. The objective of this program is to educate foreign teachers and/or professors who possess a broad base of knowledge and insight into Japanese language education, society, and culture. It also provides scholarly training in disciplines in order to develop abilities in conducting advanced academic research. It aims to produce individuals who are qualified to take an active role in Japanese language education in their own countries either as future leaders in Japanese language education and research, or as administrators, or specialists.

Lectures and seminars are given entirely in Japanese, so that students are required for enough knowledge of the Japanese language. The program is demanding, and requires a high level of commitment from the students to complete the dissertation by the end of their third year.

This program is jointly administered by two institutions working in close collaboration: the Japan Foundation Japanese-Language Institute, Urawa (JFJLI), which has a proven track record and instructional expertise in training non-native Japanese language teachers, particularly in Japanese teaching methodology; and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), a graduate-level academic research institution that studies societies and cultural policies, particularly Japanese culture, as part of a general program of policy research. The close collaboration among these two institutions enables them to provide comprehensive and high-level education and research opportunities in Japanese language education and culture.

Policy Professionals Program This program is designed to cultivate policy analysis skills in government officials, journalists, etc., through the case study approach.

The central focus of this program, based on GRIPS’ aim of training policy practitioners with a high level of both practical knowledge and policy analysis skills based on academic learning, is the execution of doctoral dissertations based on case study research. The program specifically targets practitioners with substantial professional policy experience who also have basic policy analysis skills.

First-year students, in principle, attend an intensive series of lectures and seminars, drawing on the latter to create a thesis outline. In their second year, they return to their workplaces and their professional duties while continuing research in order to complete their thesis and earn a doctorate within three years.

The program seeks to make maximum use of students’ experience and awareness of policy issues, combining this efficiently with academic training at GRIPS to generate outstanding case study research and, in the process, hone students' skills as top-class policy practitioners. To this end, the curriculum focuses on development of analytical skills in the necessary academic disciplines, broadening of students' perspectives, and teaching of research skills through such endeavors as thesis writing. In addition to the disciplines of politics and public administration, the program draws widely on areas such as economics, international relations, law, and engineering.

Entry is, in principle, limited to policy practitioners who hold master's degrees and have the necessary practical experience and/or research skills to undertake case study research at the doctoral level in Japanese. They should have at least 10 years' experience working in organizations such as government departments, journalism, or non-profit organizations.

Guidelines for Financial Assistance for Doctoral Students

Who Make Conference Presentations Purpose These guidelines stipulate necessary matters relating to assistance to students in the doctoral program at GRIPS (hereinafter referred to as “students”) for expenses required for travel to and participation in academic conferences for the purpose of making presentations. Objective The objective is to promote the acquisition of degrees within the standard allotted time by providing students with opportunities to actively present their research results outside of GRIPS and to accumulate experience in making such presentations. Application qualifications Students who are eligible to apply for assistance under these guidelines (excluding those on extended leave) must fulfill all the following conditions: 1. The student must have passed the Qualifying Examination (QE) or be expected to pass the QE by the


― 113 ―

5

time of the conference. 2. The student must personally make a presentation at a conference recommended by the student’s main advisor (Participation in paper exhibitions or poster sessions does not constitute eligibility for this financial support.). 3. The student’s main advisor must have approved the student’s participation in the conference. * Applicants who submit thesis before conferences are not eligible for the Financial Assistance.

Application procedures In principle, the student must submit the following documents to the General Affairs Team in the Academic and Student Affairs Division at least two months before the day of departure for the conference. The approval of the student’s main advisor is necessary for application. Application and other necessary forms are available at the General Affairs Team, Academic and Student Affairs Division, upon request by email. 1. Application Form for Payment of Travel Expense Assistance for Conference Presentation (Form 1) 2. Announcement of the applicable academic conference (documents that give an outline of the conference) 3. Documents showing that the student is giving a presentation (a detailed program and a Letter of Acceptance)* 4. In the case of travel by plane, an estimate or invoice of the airfare. If the amount includes expenses other than the airfare, a document showing the itemized breakdown is necessary. 5. A document showing the travel schedule (in the case of overseas travel, for example, a printed itinerary issued by a travel agency). * In case that a detailed program of the conference and a Letter of Acceptance are not available, the committee will evaluate whether the conference is of sufficient quality for the applicant to qualify for financial assistance. A final decision about whether to accept the application will be made at a final screening after all the documents have been submitted. Applicants must submit the required documents as soon as they become available.

If applicants cannot obtain these documents before departure, they must submit them within two weeks after their return. (With regard to a conference in March, applicants must submit all documents before departure.) Note 1. The itinerary of your trip should be related to the conference (i.e., it should not include private matters). 2. Applicants must be aware of what constitutes appropriate use of public funds. 3. Applicants must register GRIPS’s name as their institution. Screening procedure and amount of assistance 1. The Fellowship Committee screens the application documents and decides whether the application will be accepted.

Center for Professional Communication The mission of the Center for Professional Communication (CPC) is to support GRIPS’ students, faculty, and staff in developing effective professional communication skills and competencies needed to communicate and interact productively in an environment of multiple stakeholders. To this end, we offer a range of instruction, services, and support in fundamental areas of professional communication in English and Japanese. The Center’s main strength is its outstanding faculty. Our faculty are experts in professional communication, disciplinary writing, and language learning and teaching, with advanced academic training and years of professional experience; many hold doctorates and have a strong record of academic and research accomplishments. Our faculty’s expertise encompasses a wide range of areas in economics, political science, law, public policy, education, psychology, and applied linguistics. Drawing on extensive scholarship in educational theory and practice, the Center promotes evidence-based curriculum development and instruction, establishes best practices in teaching and learning, and strives to become a recognized center of excellence in Japan and the world. Below are some of the programs and support structures we offer.

Comprehensive Academic WritingProgram in English and Japanese

The Academic Writing Program constitutes an introduction to writing a graduate research paper and becoming a fledgling practitioner of academic values and practices. The program has three goals: (a) to articulate the minimum standard of acceptable academic production across all GRIPS programs, (b) to socialize students into the target discourse community, and (c) to support the production of

policy papers, theses, and dissertations at GRIPS. The program includes the following integrated components. Assessment of students’ academic writing

ability at the start of the academic year.

Year-long academic writing courses in English and intensive academic writing courses in Japanese.

Seminars, conferences, and special events on a wide range of writing-related topics.

Individual advising on research proposals, theses, and final papers in English and Japanese.

Handbooks, guidebooks, and other materials on academic and professional writing and language learning developed by CPC faculty and customized for students’ self-study, guided learning, and research.

Program in Professional Communication Skills We emphasize the development of strong professional communication skills in GRIPS students, promote cross-cultural communication, and provide opportunities for interaction between Japanese and international students. Our current offerings include: Credit-bearing and non-credit courses in all

aspects of professional communication in English and Japanese including presentation, negotiation, professional and business writing, grant proposal writing and public speaking.

Mini-courses, seminars, and workshops in professional communication skills in English and Japanese on a wide range of topics including academic and study skills, policy and scholarly writing, academic research, modern

Japanese history, culture, and society, and cross-cultural communication.

Special events conducted in English and

Japanese on a range of topics in professional communication, professional development, language learning, and Japanese culture including traditional Japanese culture.

Editorial Support We support GRIPS faculty and PhD students in the preparation of their work for publication or use in professional fields. To this end, we offer editing, proofreading, and language support services as well as specialized training in conference presentations.

Communication Lounge The goals of the CPC Communication Lounge are to promote autonomy in student learning, equip students with the skills and resources they need to be good learners, and create a focal point where Japanese and international students can interact and engage in language, cultural, academic, and special-interest exchanges. We offer the following semi-guided activities.

Workshops on language learning strategies, study skills, and other areas important for autonomous learning.

Special-interest discussions and clubs where Japanese and international students can talk about topics of interest.

Language exchange for those interested in practicing language skills.

Study support through a special help desk to assist students with questions related to their classes as well as language learning in general.

Office Hours and Appointments The CPC holds regular office hours for walk-in consultations. Consultations on academic writing in English are held in room C507 and may be reserved through our online system. Consultations on Japanese language learning are held in room C505 and may be reserved by email ([email protected]). Please check our website for details.

Laptop Loan Program

Laptop computers for classwork and research purposes can be borrowed for the duration of students’ studies at GRIPS.

Care of borrowed laptop computers Once a student receives a laptop computer from GRIPS, that student is responsible for the care of that laptop computer. If the laptop computer is damaged while in the student’s care, the student will pay for any repairs that are not covered by the warranty. After the laptop computer is returned at the end of the student’s studies, it will be used by another student. For this reason, no stickers should be put on the laptop computers, and the student must make every effort to keep the laptop computer clean and in good condition.

Software Software needed for classwork and research has been installed on all GRIPS laptop computers. GRIPS can provide additional software, such as statistical software, if it is required for a student’s classwork or research. This additional software can be installed at the IT Support Center. For security reasons, students must not install any other software on their laptop computers.

Laptop computer malfunctions If a laptop computer borrowed from GRIPS experiences any problems or malfunctions, the student must immediately report the problem or malfunction to the IT Support Center. Failure to report even minor problems or malfunctions may lead to more serious damage to the laptop computer, which may not be covered by the warranty.

Examples of problems not covered by the warranty The warranty for the laptop computers does not cover damage to the screen that was caused by an external force (replacement cost for the screen: up to 70,000 yen), damage to the laptop computer that was caused by liquid (replacement cost for the entire laptop: up to 130,000 yen), damage to the laptop computer that was caused by dropping the computer, or loss of the laptop computer (e.g., a laptop computer left on a train or stolen). In order to avoid these problems, a student must always be careful when closing the laptop that there are no pens, USB flash drives, handouts with clips, or other objects on the keyboard. The student should not place any heavy objects on top of the laptop computer or carry it in a bag with items that may put pressure on it. The student should be careful if eating or drinking while using the laptop computer. The student should also take care when transporting the laptop computer.

Use of non-GRIPS PCs A student may use his or her own PC for the classwork and research at GRIPS provided that the PC has antivirus software installed. The IT Support Center will not provide any support for non-GRIPS PCs and will not install any software on non-GRIPS PCs. Please also refer to the IT Support page in this Bulletin for other regulations regarding GRIPS laptop computers.

Harassment

Definition of Harassment

Harassment means inappropriate verbal or other behavior (pertaining to race, nationality, gender, hometown, religion, political beliefs, age, occupation, physical characteristics, and a broad range of other matters related to a person’s individuality) that undermines the dignity of the person and makes them feel uncomfortable.

Harassment takes various forms, but common types of harassment that become problematic in a university setting are sexual harassment and academic harassment. The various forms of harassment do not always occur independently but can overlap.

Responsibility of the Institute

The President of the Institute is responsible for implementing all measures and policies to prevent harassment and for creating a plan of countermeasures against harassment. Each Institute member holding a supervisory position is responsible for providing guidance about the prevention of harassment in daily activities in order to secure a comfortable environment free of harassment, increase awareness of harassment, and create appropriate countermeasures to prevent problems resulting from harassment.

Responsibility of Members

All members of the Institute (faculty, staff, and students) are responsible for ensuring that they do not engage in harassment that damages the human dignity of another person, as well as for making efforts to prevent harassment. Members must pay careful attention to the following in order to prevent harassment-related damage to the study or work environment. (i) Students, faculty, staff, or other relevant parties who raise harassment-related issues shall not be regarded as so-called trouble-makers, and harassment-related issues

shall not be dismissed out-of-hand as personal issues between the concerned parties. (ii) In order not to create an atmosphere of victimizers and victims in issues related to harassment, all members need to be sensitive to those around them and behave appropriately.

Specifically, members need to pay careful attention to the following points and take appropriate action.

If a member witnesses harassment, he/she must proactively draw attention to the harassment or take proactive measures before serious damage is caused to the study or work environment.

Victims of harassment tend to avoid consulting other people regarding harassment because of feelings of embarrassment, not wanting to be labeled a troublemaker, or for fear of retribution. To prevent harassment damage from becoming serious, it is important that members seek counseling if they notice any harassment.

What to Do if You are Being Harassed

To counter harassment, it is necessary to make a clear and unambiguous report of the incident. If it is difficult to make such a report, you should discuss the incident with someone you trust. It is best to note down when the harassment occurred and how it occurred, and to obtain the testimony of a third person.

Counseling with Confidentiality

The Institute has established an e-mail address, [email protected], as a hotline for harassment. We guarantee that your privacy will be strictly protected. Please do not hesitate to contact the hotline if you are experiencing or witnessing harassment. We will deal with hotline reports appropriately to prevent further problems.

Work Permission International students have the resident status of Student, which is prescribed to those who are in Japan to receive education at a college. While in Japan, international students’ activities are limited to those that correspond to the purpose assigned to their resident status. If you wish to work, you must first obtain a permit for extra-status activities from the Immigration Bureau. However, a permit for extra-status activities is not required if you intend to assist in educational or research activities at GRIPS. Thus, the Japanese government allows international students to conditionally engage in work activities. Nonetheless, in light of the intensive curriculum at GRIPS, the following policy has been established:

1. In principle, international students are not permitted

to engage in work activities (excluding the provisions of item 2). However, if your Program Director deems an activity productive for your studies and/or research and free of any negative effects to your studies, you may be allowed to engage in work activities. In this case, you must obtain a permit for extra-status activities from the Immigration Bureau.

2. International students are permitted to assist in

educational or research activities at GRIPS (e.g., as a TA or RA). In principle, though, those students

who are studying in one-year master’s programs are not permitted to engage in the above activities.

3. If you wish to engage in any kind of work activity,

you must first obtain approval from your Program Director. At least one month before commencing work, you must submit a request for permission to work (with the Program Director’s signature affixed) to the General Affairs Team, Academic and Student Affairs Division. The form of a request for permission to work is available at the General Affairs Team. The form of a request is available on GRIPS website: (http://www.grips.ac.jp/en/education/students/general/#permission_ptj)

* For those whose resident status is not Student If your resident status is not Student, you must

obtain a permission to engage in activity other than that permitted by the status of residence previously granted from the Immigration Bureau even if you plan to assist in educational or research activities at GRIPS.

Monthly Stipend

As a part of your scholarship awards, you will be provided with a fixed stipend every month to cover living expenses including food, clothing, and other daily necessities, plus accommodation, transportation, medical treatment, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses related to your study at GRIPS. This stipend will not be increased to meet any extra cost you may incur, for example, by supporting your family members or by taking private trips.

The payment of your stipend will be made upon confirmation that you have signed the register.

The stipend will be transferred into your postal saving account or bank account. If you fail to sign the register during the first three working days of the month and if you sign before the last day of that month, your stipend for that month will be transferred in the following month.

If you do not sign from the first day to the last day of the same month, we consider you not to be studying full-time at GRIPS; thus, the stipend will not be paid for that month. For example, the November stipend will not be paid if you do not sign between November 1 and November 30.

The amount of your stipend may change slightly due to the economic situation in Japan, especially after April 2017 when the new fiscal year starts. The amount may be adjusted so as to be sufficient for international students to pursue their graduate studies in Japan. We will inform you if any change will occur.

Those who receiving a scholarship will be provided a return flight ticket with the most direct and reasonable route from Japan to your home country after the completion of the program.
