Not only economic development strategies and industrialization policy, but also other public policies such as educational policy and security measures, which are related to economic development, are also considered. Each student can focus on one country and investigate several aspects of public policy in relation to economic development, or pay attention to one area of public policy and make comparative analysis across several Asian countries. In Ph.D. seminar, we conduct political economic analysis of economic development, and investigate the reasons for the difference in economic development strategies.<\/p>\n<h3>Course List<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100000758_en.html#item_syllabus_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Course List<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Web Page \/ Researcher DB<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100000758_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Waseda University Researchers Database<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Faculty Spotlights<\/h3>\n<h5>\u203bPlease click the thumbnail below to view the detailed version (PDF) or the interview video.<\/h5>\n<p>\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\"><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 64.0479%; height: 246px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 10px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 36.76%; height: 10px; text-align: center;\">\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u25c6Digital Book<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 23.8461%; height: 10px;\">\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u25c6Interview Video<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 236px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 36.76%; height: 236px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/facultyspotlights_vol3_en_in.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/efac656ce569b2e3289ef42fb2a13b20.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"218\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 23.8461%; height: 236px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1pCogzJGyrA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9970 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/147b7dcc01f5894e4bb31d67f5588a67-610x458.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/147b7dcc01f5894e4bb31d67f5588a67-610x458.png 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/147b7dcc01f5894e4bb31d67f5588a67-940x705.png 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/147b7dcc01f5894e4bb31d67f5588a67-360x270.png 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/147b7dcc01f5894e4bb31d67f5588a67-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/147b7dcc01f5894e4bb31d67f5588a67-720x540.png 720w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/147b7dcc01f5894e4bb31d67f5588a67.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"\/fire\/gsaps\/en\/about\/faculty\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u203b1<br \/>Professor<br \/>Economic Development, Political Economy, Indian Economy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1745"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16305,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1745\/revisions\/16305"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
