This course is designed to introduce students to the operation and management of the Japanese economy and its impact on Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Stress will be given to the analytic and policy interest in the operation and management of an economic system built on different social and institutional foundations from that of our own and the interaction between the Japanese economy and other economies, particularly the Australian economy.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- demonstrate an understanding of the way the Japanese economy works;
- apply economic analysis to current issues facing Japan;
- demonstrate knowledge about contemporary public policy choices in Japan;
- demonstrate an understanding of current issues in the Australia-Japan relationship.
