Electronic Media Governance and Policy Issues
Over the past decade the Internet has gone from being a medium used mainly by the research and academic communities to what governments in the United Nations World Summit on the Information society called “a central element of the infrastructure of the nformation Society” and described as “global facility available to the public”. The Internet is both platform and engine for economic and social development.
The objective of the course is to introduce and raise understanding of major Internet policy issues, particularly emphasizing the concept of openness as an architectural and operating principle that has enabled the development and success of the Internet. Discussion of shifts in regulatory policy and the international political dialogue about the Internet will provide students with an insight into possible future directions of the medium. Internet policy and Internet governance are firmly on the International political agenda, and are being vigorously discussed in new global, multi-stakeholder forums. This course will provide students with grounding in these essential issues.

[Term 2] Corporate Governance (N. Shimizu) (2008/Term 1&2 (Fall&Winter))
Corporate governance has recently received increasing attention not only in Japan but also in many western countries. The arguments often contrast the shareholder-oriented Anglo-American model with the stakeholder- (particularly, shareholder-) oriented Japanese and German models.
