Introduction
Economic transactions with overseas countries are closely related to Japan’s domestic economic activities, and affect our daily lives in many ways. In addition to export and import of goods, trade in services is also thriving. Also, while there is capital outflow through overseas direct investments by Japanese corporations and overseas portfolio investments by Japanese investors, interests and dividends from these investments are being paid from overseas countries to Japan. Plus, due to Japan’s declining birthrate and aging society, accepting the immigration of foreign workers into Japan is going to become inevitable. Such phenomena show that insight connecting the relationship of our daily lives with international economics is indispensable.
The Department of International Economics offers a group of subjects that introduce the economic situations of various countries and regions from a wide perspective, including their social systems, and another group of subjects showing how people, goods and money move among nations from a theoretical perspective. Studying these subjects will allow students to effectively acquire comprehensive insight into international and domestic economies. Also, in the Fundamental Exercise Course in the freshman and sophomore years, and in the Exercise Course in the junior and senior years, students cultivate a method of thinking in regards to economics and a wide perspective that is applicable in the international arena. Further, the Department offers a group of subjects that improve English communication abilities in business situations, and supports foreign exchange programs to utilize the acquired knowledge on economy and the communication abilities.
