Japan in Today's World
Hosted by the University of Tokyo
19 – 28 July, 2011
The program is designed to show the role of Japan in today's world in terms of her diplomatic activities and her contributions through overseas assistance and to international organizations. The principle that lies behind Japan's activities, as well as the actual extent of her activities, remain relatively little known outside Japan. The program also aims to enhance the students' understandings of Japan's politics and economy, which are bound up within the global system and yet are not so well understood by those outside Japan.
Through its Human Security Program, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tokyo has for some years been engaged in teaching and research on policies aimed at ensuring the security of individual human beings, which cannot be achieved merely by ensuring security at the state level. The College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences also have ample experience in teaching and research on Japanese Politics and Japanese company management, the knowledge of which is indispensable for an understanding of Japan's international activities. These resources of the undergraduate college and the graduate school will be utilized in offering this summer program to visiting students from the member universities of IARU, as well as to the students of the University of Tokyo.

Testimonials
“Very good, detailed enough to get to grips with the essential
concepts but broad enough to allow people with little knowledge surrounding the
subject to understand.”

and the lineup of lectures was very impressive. In terms of improvements I
would have liked a greater variety in the structure of the lectures and more
reading.”
