Our Role in Japanese Society in a Globalizing World: The SDGs and Us
More than 30 years have passed since market supremacy began to dominate the world. Globalization is connecting the world as one. And it is being integrated into one market. The economic pie is getting bigger, but at the same time, inequality and environmental problems are becoming more serious. This session will outline these aspects and deepen understanding of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were developed as a way of approaching such major issues. While governments, local governments, and corporations are increasingly taking action on the SDGs, we will also learn about the trends in the civil sector, especially NGOs, starting with basic knowledge of NGOs and the significance of their existence and activities. Through these processes, students will learn what they themselves can do as a member of the civil sector. The class will proceed in such a way that students will eventually be able to think about what they can do as a member of the civil sector.

「グローバル化する世界における日本社会に暮らす私たちの役割 ～SDGｓと私たち～」
市場至上主義が世界を席巻し始めて30年以上が経過しようとしています。グローバル化によって世界が一つにつながっていく。そして、一つの市場に統合されていく。経済のパイは大きくなっていくものの、一方で、格差や環境問題は深刻の度合いを深めてきています。こういった様相を概括し、そのような大きな課題へのアプローチ方法として編み出されたミレニアム開発目標（MDGｓ）から持続可能な開発目標（SDGｓ）について理解を深めていきます。SDGｓについては、政府・自治体や企業も取り組みを強めつつありますが、市民セクター、とりわけNGOの動向についても、NGOの基礎知識から学び、その存在意義と活動について学んでいきます。それらの過程を経ることで、市民セクターの構成員の一人として、自分自身に何ができるのか？について、最終的には考え及ぶよう、授業を進めていきます。

NPO Studies

NPO論

In the 20 years since the enactment of the Law for the Promotion of Specified Nonprofit Activities, NPOs (private nonprofit organizations) have developed various activities in various fields of society and have become indispensable for the creation of a sustainable civil society and community. They are more than just volunteer organizations or charities; they are also a means of realizing citizens' participation in society through civic projects. In this lecture, students will learn the historical background, theory, functions, and related legal systems of NPOs, as well as case studies based on specific activities, while understanding the origins of what NPOs are. Students will consider the significance of the existence of NPOs in light of diversifying social conditions and link this to practical actions. This class is a practical education course in which the faculty members in charge of the course make use of their practical experience.

「特定非営利活動促進法」制定から約20年が経つなかで、NPO（民間非営利組織）はいまや社会の各分野でさまざまな活動を展開し、持続可能な市民社会と地域づくりのために不可欠な存在となっています。さらに、ボランティア団体や慈善事業（チャリティ）という位置づけを超え、市民事業を通じて市民の社会参画を実現するものとなっています。本講義では、「NPOとは何か」という原点をとらえつつ、歴史的背景や理論、機能、関連法制度等を学び、具体的な活動をふまえた事例を学びます。多様化する社会状況をふまえ、NPOの存在意義を考え実践的な行動へと結びつけます。この授業は、担当教員が実務経験を活かしつつ、実践的教育を行っている授業です。
