Human Development for Peace
- Educational development
- Educational cooperation in theory
- Global health
- Public health studies
Human development, aimed at expanding the life choices of people living in developing countries, has long been positioned as the ultimate goal of development through international cooperation. This course compactly introduces, in an omnibus format, the core knowledge, skills, and latest findings essential for acquiring expertise in the fields of educational development and international health, which are regarded as pillars of human development, through lectures by leading researchers actively working in these areas (faculty members of the Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies). These researchers draw on their experiences in international development cooperation to provide an up-to-date perspective.
Specifically, the first two sessions serve as an introduction to the overall course, explaining the definition of human development and its relationship to peace. Subsequently, six sessions each are dedicated to lectures on educational development and international health. The content of these six sessions is finalized by the instructors based on the latest trends at the time of the course. Faculty members specializing in Japanese case studies will also join the lectures, introducing Japan’s development experiences and its advanced initiatives in each sector. In the field of international health, special emphasis is placed on global public health policies and infectious disease countermeasures, areas that have gained significant attention worldwide, including in ASEAN countries, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, content is provided on the fundamental indicators of macro-level educational and health data, including their definitions and interpretation methods. Through report writing, students are given opportunities to identify issues within their own country’s education and health sectors and to consider solutions to address these challenges. The 15th and final session summarizes the entire course, discussing the potential for international development cooperation through the integration of education and health sectors, the role of human development in promoting peace amid today’s turbulent international environment, and future prospects.
