講義概要/Course description
|
The course aims to provide students with an overview of the history of modern Japan from the early modern Edo Bakufu(1600-1867) to the end of the Pacific War in 1945. They will encounter some of the most important individuals, institutions, and ideas that have been involved in Japan’s rise as a modern power. Particular emphasis will be placed on the global context and Japan’s multi-dimensional interaction with other countries. Social and cultural developments will be discussed alongside key political events, offering students insight into not only the emergence of the modern Japanese state, but also the daily lives of people in the past.
