Using microeconomics and game theory mainly, the public choice explains political phenomena, analyzes interdependence between polity and economy, and clarifies the basis of legal system and social norm. Adopting the analytical methods of microeconomics and game theory here means that the public choice basically depends on the hypothesis that people and organizations behave to maximally achieve their specific objectives under given conditions.
In this lecture, in order to place emphasis on having students understand the basic idea of public choice, we will not carry out detailed technical explanation as a rule. However, because it is necessary to respond well to the intellectual requirements of graduate students, somewhat advanced contents may be included for undergraduates.

Efforts to preserve the global environment are one of the greatest challenges of the present age. Thus, it is inevitable to have a considerable involvement in environmental issues, irrespective of the area of specialization. The field of environment is extremely broad. It involves a wide range of stages from the earth to life to human society. For this reason, subjects related to the environment are currently being segmented and specialized.
With this context, this course helps the students to learn specialized knowledge in the field of extremely wide sectors related to environment in order to have a solid foundation of this diverse topic. A comprehensive review of a wide range of environmental fields from a unified viewpoint of science and technology is provided. This helps in deepening knowledge while viewing the entire environmental field, even if the student advances to one specific areas for his/her research or profession. In each lesson, we will take up specific cases, that can easily be understood with view point of science and technology application in the field of environmental management.

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.

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.

When we examine different regions, it is important to understand their culture. The broad concept of culture includes elements such as among others history, religion, language and art. Furthermore we can also say that in its core this concept also merges with the idea of community. This lecture will be conducted jointly by professors of the German and French sections. Although to a certain extent we can not avoid focusing on Germany and France, the goal of this lecture is to approach the true nature of “Europe” especially through the investigation of its western parts. While experiencing ups and downs, Europe has advanced towards unification. In this sense, Europe is getting closer to becoming a region that has overcome borders. At the same time national borders do not
always coincide with linguistic and cultural borders. Furthermore European states are often marked by different regional identities inside their national borders. Investigating this diverse Europe will have a great importance in the 21st century.
