目標：
一般而言，國際政治學者從國家、區域間的外在脈絡去理解研究對象；區域研究學家則從國家或區域的内在脈絡去理解研究對象。對於國際或外國事務的理解，上述二者猶如車之兩輪，缺一不可。
所以，本課程將透過「内」、「外」脈絡的理解,構築學生觀察、認識台日關係的基礎框架。

Target:
Generally speaking, international politics scholars understand the research object from the external context of countries and regions; area studies scholars understand the research object from the internal context of the country or region. For the understanding of international or foreign affairs, the above two are like the two wheels of a car, one is indispensable.
Therefore, this course will build a basic framework for students to observe and understand Taiwan-Japan relations through the understanding of "internal" and "external" contexts.

東南亞對中國及對美國國際關係等的世界情勢再再影響著台灣。在認知此種世界情勢的同時，將區域性的個人交流納入視野，對「台日關係」進行考察。

World situations such as Southeast Asia's international relations with China and the United States continue to affect Taiwan. While recognizing this world situation, we will also examine "Taiwan-Japan relations" by taking regional personal exchanges into consideration.
