授業の目的
授業の概要・授業計画	[AIMS] This course shall introduce students to border studies in an Asia-Pacific context. Despite expectations that the significance of sovereign state borders was set to fade away with the collapse of the Soviet Union, removal of the Berlin Wall, and expansion of the Schengen zone of free movement within the EU, border issues have achieved ever more prominence in recent years in Japan ("inherent territory") and elsewhere. This course shall help explain why borders have retained their significance in a globalized world, and the utility of analyzing them from an interdisciplinary perspective. Through this course, students shall be exposed to a range of perspectives on both the border itself, and the disciplines with which the field is most associated (political studies, IR, political geography, anthropology, security studies, etc.). [OBJECTIVES] This course shall (1) provide students with the theoretical background to the development of border studies as a distinct interdisciplinary field of study; (2) introduce students to a range of empirical examples of border phenomenon from across the Asia-Pacific; and (3) encourage students to question whether our understanding of borders should always be that dictated by the state.
