This seminar was intended for students from these Asian universities, with which Nagoya University has formed partnerships—to offer students the chance to experience campus life in Japan and promote exchanges with each other. By taking part in the seminar, the students can be expected to sharpen their global sense and build human networks. We hope that those who participated will come to play a key role in the future in promoting development in Asia while working together with other East Asian countries. Under this concept, the seminar featured two major events—lecture sessions and visits to public facilities for research purposes—both of which provided participants with opportunities to learn about Japan’s legal, political and social systems, and were able to get exposed to these systems through actual experiences. Topics taken up at the lecture sessions were international relations in East Asia and introduction to Japan’s legal system and society. Through the lectures, the students from other East Asian countries were able to learn about Japan’s politics and laws. The so-called research visits allowed students to learn about Japan’s court system by having them visit the Nagoya District Court, the Nagoya High Court, and the Aichi Bar Association. They also learned about Japan’s criminal penalty system by visiting a jail in Gifu Prefecture. The seminar also provided an independent research session where participants visited various places they chose on their own in order to feel Japan’s culture and society. Before visiting these places, they allotted some of their time to conducting research on them. This report consists of several chapters. Chapter 1 features a self-introduction - 1 - by each participant in the seminar. An event schedule for the seminar is in Chapter 2. Reported in Chapters 3 to 6 are comments and impressions by the participants about the seminar—what they felt and what they learned. Chapter 7 lists replies to questionnaires given to the students after taking part in the seminar. The participants expressed their candid opinions in their replies. I hope that when they read this report the participants will refresh their memories about what they learned and thought about at the seminar, and that their seminar experiences will help them in their next stage of life. - 2 - Forward Prof., Dr. AIKYO Masanori Trustee/ Vice President, Nagoya University To address globalization in the 21st century, the training of “Global Human Resources” is a common theme in Asian countries including China, Korea and Japan. In particular, Japan faces a serious crisis caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011 and we are trying to revitalize our country by introducing new reforms and changes. To facilitate these efforts, it is an urgent issue to produce highly capable human resources at universities. The law faculties are trying to change human resources with leading innovation capacity in the field of law. By governmental agreement, China, Korea and Japan launched the “CAMPUS Asia” program. We at Nagoya University commenced the program as a part of “CAMPUS Asia” called “Training Human Resources for the Development of an Epistemic Community in Law and Political Science to Promote the Formation of a “jus commune” in East Asia” in cooperation with, in China, Renmin University of China, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University; and in Korea, Sungkyunkwan University and Seoul National University. Our goal is to produce “knowledge people with courage” who can think freely and creatively, and are ready to take up all sorts of challenges. These “global human resources” are expected to be active globally with a good command of foreign languages in the fields of law and political science. The international summer seminar 2012 was organized as part of the program. We also invited students from the University of Seoul and Tamasaat University (Thailand) in addition to partner universities in the program. Recently, Nagoya University was selected to implement a program similar to “CAMPUS Asia” between Japanese and ASEAN universities. The new program called “Training a New Generation of Leaders in International Cooperation for the Development of the ASEAN Region” aims to foster global leaders in international cooperation who will be able to understand the relationships between economic and social development and business initiatives, and with good knowledge of the economics, laws, political science, society and culture of the ASEAN region. Under this program, an academic consortium is formed, consisting of Nagoya University and ASEAN partner universities, such as Chularonkon University (Thailand), Singapore National University, University of the Philippines Los Baños, - 3 - Gajah Mada University (Indonesia), Hanoi Law University (Vietnam), Ho Chi Minh City Law University (Vietnam), and the Royal University of Law and Economics (Cambodia). ASEAN countries have cooperated closely with China, Korea and Japan, and the development of East Asian regional cooperation has been initiated by the forum of “ASEAN Plus Three.” To promote dialogue among ASEAN Plus Three, it is highly important to produce human resources who can understand the associated laws, economics, society, history and culture. I believe that we can contribute to East Asian regional cooperation through the collaboration of these two programs and I expect that the summer seminar to be held next fiscal year will be more attractive and beneficial. - 4 - Address Prof. SADAKATA Mamoru Dean, School of Law, Nagoya University A total of 23 students are participating in Campus Asia Program Summer Seminar 2012: from China - Renmin University of China, Tsinghua University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University; from the Republic of Korea - Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul National University, and University of Seoul; and from Thailand - Thammasat University. We warmly welcome all of you. We are hoping that you will play an important role as new leaders in Asia in the future because, in the context
