Outline and Purpose of the Course	In this class, we will discuss the military and politics. There is a shared principle of democracy that the military should not get involved in politics. However, this is an ideal. In practice, the military has often intervened in politics for a variety of reasons. Although the number of coups d'état itself is now on the decline, the use of political and economic influence by the military without such overt violence can still be observed in the current world. In Asia, as the rise of China and Russia is drastically changing the global security environment, the political role of the military in formulating and implementing security policies is expected to become more important. In order to think about the role of the military in politics and the future of global security, this class will use The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Military in Politics (3 volumes) as the main material for discussion among all students.
Course Goals	In this class, we will read and discuss previous research reviews written in English to understand the connection between the military and politics, and also learn how to write the literature review. The topics to be covered within this theme may be adjusted according to the students' research interest.
