1 Politics and Government of Modern Japan POL-UA , Spring 2018 Wed 9.30am-12pm Room: 12WV L113 This course is an introduction to the politics and government of contemporary Japan. It explores how politicians have fought election campaigns, elected leaders, made policy, and governed in interaction with career bureaucrats, interest groups, the media and voters from 1955 until today. Special attention is paid to the effects of institutional reforms on Japan s political system and to current policy challenges such as the rise of China and constitutional revision. The course centers upon student discussion and debate of the readings assigned in each week, and includes the showing of the documentary film Pictures at an Election as well as clips from Campaign. No prior knowledge of Japan, Japanese politics, or the Japanese language is required. One of the course s main goals is to provide you with an opportunity to develop and write a research paper of your own. To this end, most of the assessment in the course is writing-based. We are very fortunate to be able to work with NYU s Undergraduate Writing Tutors Program for the duration of the course. Information about the program and what it entails from you is below. Instructor: Professor Amy Catalinac amy.catalinac@nyu.edu Office: 19 West 4th St, Office 315. Office Hours: Tues 2-4pm. Undergraduate Writing Tutors Program: Writing tutors are well-trained peers who provide feedback on drafts of writing assignments. Their role is to encourage and challenge students to strengthen their writing and clarify their ideas. They are trained to support the aims of the class, learn about the expectations for writing in the class, and listen and respond carefully to student-writers. While writing tutors are not TAs and will not evaluate papers, they will provide feedback designed to generate clearer writing and stronger thinking about the content. Writing tutors also look for patterns of grammatical error in student papers, explaining how students can learn to correct these errors. The tutors main goals are to help students develop their writing and thinking in response to particular assignments and become better writers over the long term. Writing tutors take a semester-long practicum to learn to think more deeply about writing and to develop practices for working with peers on writing during individualized conferences. Tutors audit several classes or recitations and read some course materials in the classes they tutor. Their primary aim is, however, to work with students through a practice-based approach to writing and revising. That is, they will ask questions and work to prompt students to reread, rethink, revise, and craft new writing during conferences. 1
2 Participation in the program is mandatory for the second and third writing assignments, in a way that is explained below. The program consists of: 1. On-time submission of complete drafts of your papers (not outlines or rough notes) to your designated writing tutor 2. Attending a scheduled, 30-minute, one-on-one conference with your writing tutor for each of these two assignments. Submission of late and/or incomplete drafts to tutors, or missing your scheduled conference with your tutor, will result in a reduction of your grade for that assignment. Noelle Mole Liston, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer in NYU s Expository Writing Program (nm76@nyu.edu) will be actively engaged in the integration of the Writing Tutors Program into our course. In addition, you will be working with two highly qualified writing tutors: Bhavini Kahani ( bsk322@nyu.edu) Virginia Zhang ( vz356@nyu.edu) Course Requirements: 1. Participation (15%) This course depends on your participation. You are expected to read the assigned material each week and come to class prepared to discuss it. When reading an article, focus on the research question tackled, the answer offered, and the evidence the author presents for that answer. Also consider whether alternative answers to the question were considered. The study questions in each session are not exhaustive, but are meant to guide your reading of the material for that week. 2. Writing Assignment 1 (15%) On February 12, you are expected to hand in an essay of between 2-3 pages, double spaced. It should be submitted through NYU Classes and should include your last name in the file name. It should answer the following question: Scholars have offered various explanations for why the LDP was dominant. Which of these do you find most convincing, and why? 3. Writing Assignment 2 (20%) On March 2, you are expected to submit a draft essay of between 4-5 pages, double spaced, to your designated undergraduate writing tutor. This should be submitted through NYU Classes and should include your last name in the file name. The following week, you are expected to meet with your designated undergraduate writing tutor, who will provide you with feedback on this paper. You are then expected to revise the paper and submit it to me, again through NYU Classes, by March 12. Your essay will answer the following question: 2
3 SNTV is a fine political system. Among other things, it has contributed to stability in postwar Japan. Do you agree? Discuss with reference to what we have read and learned in the course thus far. 4. Final Research Paper (50%) The sessions each week focus on how politics and government works (and does not work) in contemporary Japan. For the research paper, your task is to apply what we have learned in the course to a particular policy area. Your task is to select a policy area, identify a change in that policy area, and construct an argument, using evidence, as to what brought about that change. In constructing your answer, you may find that a concept we have studied, such as the rising importance of the Prime Minister or the declining incentives for interest groups to mobilize votes on behalf of politicians, can explain this change in policy. If so, make the case for why, using as much evidence as you can. If you find that the concepts we have studied are not useful in explaining this change and something else is, such as a demographic change, that is perfectly acceptable. You will be judged on your ability to identify a change in policy and construct an argument that explains this change, not on the degree to which you have bought the arguments of the scholars we have studied. You are also expected to consider other potential explanations for that change and use evidence to show that those explanations are incorrect. To help you with this, you are expected to submit a 2-page paper proposal to me on March 30. The first page of this proposal will outline the research question you plan to tackle in your paper and your (tentative) answer to this question. The second page will be an annotated bibliography, and will list sources that you plan to consult in the writing of your paper. While your annotated bibliography may include references to primary material, such as newspaper articles or government documents, the bulk of the references listed should be articles relevant to your topic in academic journals or books published by university presses. This proposal and the annotated bibliography is worth 10% of your final grade. After this, you will complete a full draft of your final research paper by April 27. This draft should be approximately 15 double-spaced pages, and should include references to academic journal articles and books pertaining to your subject area, as well as some primary sources, such as newspaper articles or policy statements. Please consult NYU s Citation Style Guide for information about referencing. Either citation style is fine, as long as you are consistent. This will be submitted through NYU Classes and will be read by the undergraduate writing tutor. Based on feedback provided by your tutor, you will then revise your draft and submit the final version to NYU Classes by May 7. Please do not ask for any extensions on this final paper. It is important that everyone operate within the same constraints. 3
4 Grade Breakdown: Participation % Writing Assignment % Writing Assignment II % Final Paper Proposal and Annotated Bibliography % Final Research Paper % Required Texts: There are no required textbooks for this course. Assigned Readings: The assigned readings for each week are available through the course website. Supplementary material for each session is also noted. This is only for your reference and is not required. There may be minor adjustments to the assigned readings as the course progresses, which will be communicated well in advance. Policy on Collaboration: You are encouraged to discuss with one another your approach to the presentations, final paper, and other course requirements, but you must ensure that any material submitted to meet the requirements of the course (including your presentation slides; research prospectus; research presentation; and final research paper) is your own work. Accommodation for Students with Disabilities: Students needing academic adjustments or accommodations because of a documented disability should speak with the professor as soon as possible (and preferably by the end of the second week of the semester). Failure to do so may result in the instructor s inability to respond in a timely manner.
