授業の目的  
This course is intended to help students deepen their understanding of selected topics and concepts. The lectures will deal with
(1) an advanced examination of the idea of human development by introducing John Ruskin’s concept of ‘intrinsic value’ and Jun Ikegami’s comprehensive theory about capabilities and cultural (art) goods;
(2) the study of ‘traps’ of low-income countries, with a focus on natural resource curse, civil war, trust and network and ethnic diversity;
(3) a basic review of the theories and facts about state-society relationship, and
(4) an analysis of the effectiveness of ODA (official development aid).
  Through these studies, we will search for a more effective path for endogenous and sustainable development of less developed countries. It may be an ‘elusive quest’, as is argued by Prof. William Easterly of New York University, but we hope to find a small step forward through this course.

履修目標
(項目説明)授業で扱う内容(授業のねらい)を示す目標です。より高度な内容は自主的な学修で身につけることを必要としています。
 
1. The students are expected to acquire a deeper knowledge about the concept of human development as well as the relationship between human beings and Nature. They will also learn about basic differing views regarding art goods and intrinsic value. They will learn about the fundamental and structural hurdles faced by developing countries, which will help students develop plans for more effective ODA activities.
2. At the end of the course, you will be able to write a short essay on such complicated questions as (1) how human beings can develop through the consumption and production of goods with intrinsic value, (2) why not only ordinary goods but art goods should be offered in the market of developing countries for promotion of human development, and (3) how ODA activities can be reformed in order to overcome fundamental traps caused by the particular political and economic structure of a developing country.

備考  
We will take into consideration the predicaments faced by the poorest segment of the world population. The conventional policy of offering only ordinary goods (foods, clothes and shelter) and of meeting basic human needs will be reviewed from a critical viewpoint. The concept of quality of life will be studied from a radical and fundamental level through attention to intellectual excitement enjoyed by the production and consumption of art and cultural goods.
 
教員からの一言  
 90分間、高位の集中力と緊張を維持することは、講師も受講生も不可能ですし、疲労して、かえって不効率です。緊張と緩和をバランスよく配し、最大限の教育効果が生じるような授業をこころがけます。受講生のみなさんも、(予習、復習を含めて)最大限に内容を吸収できるような受講方法を考えましょう。
