授業の目的・内容 ／Course Objectives	“International Relations” is not an easy term to define. Despite such a difficulty, we often come across this particular term these days. This course is designed to help students enhance their knowledge and understanding of international relations so that they could understand and use this term adequately in the age of globalization. As shown in the course schedule, the course begins with a basic explanation of the term international relations. Students will be exposed to various aspects of the subject throughout the semester. In the first half of the semester, theoretical aspects of international relations will mainly be discussed. In the second half, the focus will be placed on the actual historical events that took place during the Cold War to further increase the understanding of the subject. This course focuses on improving students' "listening" and "reading" skills and their "competence to think critically in English," as stated in DP 2. Overall objectives are "to obtain a comprehensive English proficiency," as stated in the CP.
