DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE 2credits (Spring)
開発と社会変容 2単位 (春学期)
Effect of Development Policy and Social Change at Grass-roots
Community in Indonesia
Professor, Faculty of Economics KURASAWA, AIKO
経済学部教授 倉沢 愛子
Course Description:
I will describe social changes brought by rapid and heavy development
policy, taking a case of Indonesia. My analysis is based on field research
in two sites (one urban and another rural) where I have been watching
since 1996. I will focus on changes on such aspects as human relations
within the community, flow of information and changes in
communication mode, religious piety, life-style etc. I will show you video
which I recorded at the research sites.
Through this course first of all I want you to get clear image on
people’s life in a relatively “unknown” world, and so doing, to reconsider
such questions as what is “development” and what is “prosperity. Does
economic development really bring you prosperity and happiness ?
Critical analysis and evaluation are most welcome.

CONSTRUCTING INDIA 2credits (Spring)
インドをソウゾウする 2単位 (春学期)
Indian and Japanese Perspectives and Policies
Lecturer WILLIAMS, MUKESH K.
講師 ウィリアムス, ムケーシュ
Course Description:
India is a fast developing economy and a nuclear nation with ambitions
to become an Asian and a global leader. It is keen to address some of the
colonial ills such as a cumbersome bureaucracy and suspicion of
globalization by establishing new economic and political ties with Japan
and the rest of the world. What significance does this have for Japan and
the rest of the world can only be understood if we delve into its ancient
past and understand its present aspirations. Japan is now keenly looking
towards India as a new partner in the areas of both business and strategic
defense. In August 2007, the former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe
visited India as part of an emerging Japanese policy to build a bilateral
relationship between India and Japan. He gave a speech entitled, "Futatsu
no umi no majiwari" (http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/asia-paci/pmv0708/
speech-2.html) where he outlined his concepts relating to the history of
Japan-India contacts over the centuries. The title of the speech came from
a 17th century book Confluence of the Two Seas by a Mughal prince Dara
Shikoh and was therefore replete with references to Indian culture. Some
commentators saw the speech as a "paradigm shift" in Japan's foreign
policy with India. (For more information see: http://japanfocus.org/

products/details/2514) As part of this visit and policy, Japan became an
official partner in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project (DMIC)
agreeing to finance 30 billion USD of the project. (For more information
see: http://commerce.nic.in/PressRelease/pressrelease_detail.asp?
id=2090). Yet there is a wide gap between government policies and public
awareness, particularly as it relates to modern Indian society, politics,
economics, identities, caste and class. To bridge this gap, there is a need
within the Japanese academic context to focus on these changing patterns
in India since the last century and their impact on the contemporary
geographical, political and economic region, especially Japan. This course
will use an interdisciplinary approach to explore the shifting contours of
India's past by focusing on the Indian economy, nuclear program, hard/
soft identities, literatures and languages. It will not provide a simplistic
solution by employing a unified "grand" narrative but explore multiple
narratives to reveal the fragmentariness of the Indian experience.
Beginning with an examination of the histories of an Indian past, the
course will proceed through lectures by representatives of the Indian and
Japanese communities and the academia to develop a more
comprehensive perspective of India and the historical and cultural
connections that inform Japan’s policies today.
The class will be conducted in English and reading and writing will be
primarily in English.
Grades are also based on attendance and classroom participation.

Cross-cultural Studies between Japan and India
Lecturer NISHIMURA, YUKO
講師 西村 祐子
Course Description:
This course intends to give a comparative cross cultural analysis
between two prominent countries in Asia: Japan and India. Studying
societies from the grassroots level at the bottom of social strata, students
are required to analyze the relationship between the socio-cultural stigmas
and politico-economic power hierarchies. Students will learn not only
the problems, but also the transformations of these communities in the
21st century. What are the changes and how are these changes taking
place? The first six classes will discuss issues related to Japan’s Ex-
Untouchables (Burakumin), the urban poor (the homeless, internet café
refugees, flophouse district residents, ethnic minorities such as resident
Koreans, the Ainus, Okinawans and the recent immigrant minorities from
overseas. The second component of the course will discuss India’s
depressed minorities particularly the Ex-Untouchables and the Excriminal
tribes, women, slum dwellers and the poor in rural areas. What
are the problems surrounding them and how are these issues being dealt
with by the government and NGOs? What are the keys to solve the
problem? This course intends to provide students with a socio-cultural
understanding necessary to understand social change in societies.
