授業概要 / Course Description
While looking at the development of Japan’s post-World War II political economy, this course especially focuses on policy-related issues in the Japanese economy and financial markets since the 1990s. Japan’s transition from the high-growth period to a matured economy around the end of the 1970s, trade disputes with advanced industrial economies and international economic coordination in the 1970s and 80s, the bursting of the bubble/ financial crisis/ and economic stagnation in the 1990s are key events to be discussed. Students will also learn about recent economic policies, such as Abenomics, and economic situation in Japan.
