Class Objectives
/Class Outline This course intends to discuss the issues of SDGs under the Guiding principles of Hiroshima University “Pursuit of Peace” and the long-term vision “Splendor Plan 2017”. The SDGs sets sustainability as a core of the global issues. Such a broad issue always involve many related issues. Resolution of one issue may produce another issue. It is important to consider cross-disciplinary approach and historical aspect. Also inclusiveness is an important principle of SDGs, and thus all countries, developed and developing countries, should collaborate to tackle these.
When considering these cross-disciplinary approach, history, and inclusiveness of development, Japanese experience of development provides an important case, because Japan, among non-European countries, is the first country which has become a member of OECD. Here, we can learn many points from the developing efforts whether they are success or failure. These efforts, including development assistance, are connected to Japanese society of today. On the other hand, Japan currently faces such new issues as rapid aging and depopulation. Thus this course discusses Japanese experience of human development from the above aspects.
