In each week, we will invite IAB scientists, Keio Ph. D students as well as two or three guest speakers, and discuss each topic provided by the speakers. Through this class, students aim to establish their “conceptual frameworks” in modern biology: strategy and the strategic way of thinking.

The concept is an important tool to organize thoughts, to communicate between people from different areas, to anchor findings when doing research, and to explain the issue. Students can use concepts as tools to do research or examine a concept for their research.
The course will go over a number of key concepts in social development including Risks, the State, Community, the Individual among others. Case studies are also employed to facilitate the understanding and the use of the concepts. The students will be required to explore secondary resources to find relevant readings to the selected concepts and present the points taken from the readings for classroom discussions. Key reading assignments will be also provided during the course.

One of the most frequently used words is "strategy". However, there are cases in which people who are not understanding even from the distinction between strategy and tactics make influential remarks in public places. This course aims to understand the essence of strategic decision making that appears in various fields and to acquire basic ideas useful for problem finding and solving in each area of interest of each student. In addition, we would like to have some useful hints on how to design a system that is preferable from a social point of view in some sense (although it is also a subject of consideration) against such entities that make strategic decision making.

Based on these problem consciousness, we learn the essence of noncooperative game theory which can be applied to each case of individual field such as economy, business, political process, international relations, etc., and also briefly touch on some results of recent experimental economics. In addition, considering why it is difficult to realize desirable policies from a viewpoint of public choice theory, we will examine the theoretical basis on which we make normative judgment with reference to Amartya Sen's normative economics.

The CB course has a variety of research fields. By utilizing this advantage and communicating with professors in the CB course, we hope you to learn various methodology and viewpoints. In this class, professors provide them as omnibus lectures.

Modern society is facing a variety of challenges, such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, population growth and decline, urban expansion and contraction. We should not be troubled by these challenges as intractable problems, but see them as a great opportunity to change the way we think, live, and work, and to shift our society to a new paradigm. In this class, we will look at the global environment from this broad perspective and study the scientific basis of the global warming problem. Then, we will take up various global and local examples of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures, and extract policy and action patterns that combine individual and public interests. Through this process, students will learn the basics of global warming issues and develop an interdisciplinary perspective to solve them. Students will also acquire the skills necessary for research through literature survey, problem setting, and planning exercises.

In this course, the fundamental principle, theory, methods required to pursue research in information and network field are lectured. By taking this course, students acquire the fundamental theory and technique required in the focused area.

This course aims to understand the most advanced researches of the Graduate Project on Global Governance and Regional Governance (GR).

In this course, faculty members of GR project and guest speakers will have lectures on advanced research in each research field. This course will cover very wide aspects such as disciplines, research methods, approaches and many regions; and such knowledge would be helpful for policy making and finding resolutions of complicated problems.

GR students are strongly recommended to attend, but students from other projects are also welcome.

The aim of this course is to learn the basics and strategies of case study research. This course is designed for those students who would like to conduct researches in the fields of Social Sciences. Students will learn by reading text books and earlier studies, discussion, group work and presentation.Preparation for the lectures and submission of reports are aquired.
The goal of the course are to learn skills of designing case study research, critical reading of research and to improve quality of one's research design.

This course will be organized by seven faculties belonging to CB program.

A main faculty, Dr. Ushiyama, coordinates the course, and the other six faculties handle each two-successive classes by rotation. They will introduce research methods and philosophies in their own research fields through lectures, workshops, and group works.

This lecture will be divided into two parts:

The first part will focus on climate risk reduction. With specific examples from different tools, the lecture will focus on climate change adaptation with cases from developing countries.

The main research theme is research and development of information systems related to the Internet.
We will carry out research activities that research and development of protocols, such as IPv6-related, computer systems, security, and distributed systems, which are the next-generation core protocols, and the global expansion of research results developed through international standardization.

This is a course designed for students who are eager to improve their basic speaking and listening skills.
We will meet twice a week for a total of 4 periods (Koma).
In the 1st period, we will learn TOEFL test taking strategies; focusing mainly on the listening section.
In the 2nd period, we will focus on improving communication skills by taking part in pair work and group discussions, also giving individual and group presentations.
