Research theme, outline of project research seminar, message to prospects
In my project seminar, students work on inter-state relations (mostly, U.S.-Japan relations or Japan-China-Korea relations). Some focus on leaders and diplomats in a traditional framework, while others are interested in cultural diplomacy or public diplomacy based on the notion of soft power. In addition, I encourage students to develop their own interests and questions, thereby enlarging the scope of my seminar to include such topics as the UN, ICC, UNESCO, media coverage of international issues or historical issues (Yasukuni, etc.).
The study of international relations will not immediately lead to the creation of a peaceful world, but it certainly is worthwhile to discuss important world issues and examine the possibility of bridging the differences and animosities among states and peoples.
