Road to the Dream▼ 03

01　In today’s world, globalization is here to stay with networking established

beyond national boundaries in every facet of our lives.

　In addition, we need to address many issues and challenges, such as

environmental problems, population explosion, poverty and hunger, ethnic

conflicts, and regional conflicts.

　In order to effectively manage and resolve these and other issues and

challenges, the Faculty of International Studies aims to create a new

academic discipline of International Studies in collaboration with other

sciences by going beyond the boundary of the traditional academic

framework.

Managing Globalization

　With internationalization and the advances in informatization in recent

years, globalization is moving ahead rapidly. Globalization produces many

benefits, no doubt, but it causes an even larger disparity in wealth among

nations, immigration problems, and regional conflicts in some cases.

Culturally, globalization is standardizing many different cultural values all

over the world.

　At the Faculty of International Studies, we will help students analyze

social and cultural issues and challenges that stem from globalization and

help students research different ways that the issues can be effectively

managed and resolved.

Promoting Mutual Understanding and Harmonious Coexistence

　Globalization aims to realize harmonious coexistence and co-prosperity

among different nations, ethnic groups, and regions.

　In reality, globalization is the cause of many conflicts around the world

today. Underlying this unfortunate state of affairs is lack of understanding

and prejudice towards different cultures and societies.

　The Faculty of International Studies aims at the realization of mutual

understanding and harmonious coexistence through international studies

that will be pursued in an organic linkage between a variety of other

academic disciplines.

02About the Graduate School of

International Studies

After 9/11, ethnic and regional conflicts of the world have become more complicated, and the crisis of Global-Terrorism and American Unilateralism has become more conspicuous so the role of the United Nations is now being under review.

We, as citizens, should actively join in International Exchange and International Cooperation in order to contribute to a rich and diverse global society and contribute to the creation of a Global Culture. We should pursue our own theme by ourselves, and solve these problems theoretically and practically.

In this course, we have 3 special studies and through educational research and their generalization, we make much effort to train highly specialized international professionals in government, nongovernment and non-profit organizations.

International Social Studies: This program offers courses for study and research on global social issues such as ethnic problems, political strife, and environmental pollution. This program analyzes economic, political, and social systems involved in these problems and explores both theoretical and practical solutions. This program focuses on local areas in relation to the international community. Students improve their abilities in researching social events, data processing, and formulating theoretical approaches.International Cultural Studies: This program offers courses for study and research on cultural issues such as religious strife and intercultural communication barriers throughout the world. This program analyzes the influence of cultural systems and explores theoretical and practical solutions to such issues. Students in this program can improve their research abilities to interpret cultures with breadth and depth of knowledge that includes diverse cultural traditions and histories.International Exchange Studies Program: This program offers courses for study and research on international exchange at the global and local levels. This program aims at logically and empirically analyzing local and global issues by using interdisciplinary approaches. By focusing attention on practical international exchange activities originating from civil society in Japan, students in this program are expected to contribute to the formation of diverse global societies and cultures.

❶Designed for a person who wants to study the formation of a global society and to cultivate an international vision that enables one to make contributions to that society.

❷Designed for a person who wants to think seriously about nations, areas, and individuals in an international society.

❸Designed for a person who wants to articulate and contribute his/her vision, own opinions and ideas actively in a multicultural environment.

❹Designed for a person who hopes to participate in international exchange and make international contributions at the citizen level.

❺Designed for a person who has an aptitude, basic scholastic ability and communication ability for expressing and practicing solutions to global issues and problems.

　The type of social space in which citizens discuss freely what society should be and then reach an agreement and express it widely to the people while also having an affect on public systems and policy decisions is called the 'Public Sphere.'　Because of cross-national conflicts of interests it is difficult to solve global issues. To cope with that kind of problem, in recent years it has become noticeable to deal with it beyond national borders. Citizens and civic organizations which have diversified cultures act beyond country borders.　In this course we especially define public spheres in which citizens and civic organizations are performing as 'Multicultural Public Sphere'.　Multicultural Public Sphere: citizens and civic organizations achieve a consensus through free communication in spite of the differences such as ethnic groups, religions and languages and tackle transnational problems.　We do educational research on Multicultural Public Sphere from 3 points of view.－ Global governance: the system and structure to maintain the Multicultural

Public Sphere. － International Cooperation: an ideal way of distribution of personal and

material resources that is needed to form the Multicultural Public Sphere and how the process should be accomplished.

－ Multicultural Exchange: an ideal way for cultures to form the Multicultural Public Sphere.

　In this Doctoral Course and through this educational research we train highly specialized professional leaders who articulate problems, make plans and supervise in order to carry out relations and formations of the Multicultural Public Sphere.

❶ Designed for a person who wants to solve transnational problems by bringing diverse knowledge and opinions of persons concerned thereby forming a consensus.

❷ Designed for a person who wants to research transnational problems related to global governance, international cooperation and multicultural exchange that requires having an advanced understanding and knowledge of specific regions.

❸ Designed for a person who wants to carry out research on transnational problems through joint research with researchers from many fields, and to take advantage of the results for decision-making in and between civil organizations, international organizations, governments, and local governments.
