担当教員 Gray，G．
授業の目的、または到達目標 To understand what makes a country safe and secure. To learn the real meaning of 'security'. To learn about the real dangers facing modern countries and what must be done to protect against them and make a country a truly safe place to live.

Learning Goals:

can describe and discuss the relationships between states

授業の概要 'Security' in international relations used to mean armies. Then it came to mean armies and a strong economy. Now it means much more; including protection from disease, a lack of crime, reducing environmental problems, dealing with population issues and finding new sources of energy. This course looks at what it really means for a country to be 'secure' and focuses especially on Japan.
