Discussion of options as well as issues, especially, technology options, land-use control, imposition of taxes, regulations, CAPaBLE. This section deals with a whole range of options and alternatives open to us dealing with climate change. Everyone is urged to pay attention to the regional, or even communal, contexts of the problem before taking any attempt at solving the problem seriously.

After students’ presentation sharing the knowledge about climate change, group discussion will follow in order to identify the processes of how climate change will cause degradation of “Human well being” and “Social Capital”. Grouping of the cases may be made on the basis of ecosystem types and/or stages of development and regions.

Discussion of human vulnerabilities, induced by by Climate Change(CC), in terms of capability for food production, accessibility of water resources, effects on human health and so on, especially in developing country where they have weak ability to adapt themselves to it. At the end of this lecture, academic papers will be passed for assignments to understand processes between CC as causes and Human-well being as effects.

a) Development: An examination of the contextual background of “human security” issue. Though historical in nature, the examination should turn up some concepts for both heuristic and analytical purposes. b) Policy Research and Management: We will discuss how a “research” requires a certain degree of neutrality * commitment to context-free explanation * and equally acute sense of its consequences of (or responsibility for) what it produces in the actual context of life.

a) Human Security: Discussion of the beginnings and changing conceptions of human security. This will be followed by the elaboration on what the key conceptual as well as policy issues involved in the “human security” research. b) Umegaki will survey some of the preceding research on “human security.”

Umegaki briefly introduces the current as well as past research projects, and basic policy interest of the two instructors of the course. The introduction will be followed by a brief outline of what this course is meant, supplemented by a simple account of what “policy management” (sougouseisakugaku) is about. We will also give the “must” readings for you to consider throughout the semester.
