FUKUDA MitsuruProfessor

Provide fully comprehensive training to garner the skills to be able to respond properly to a diverse range of emergency situations from both the "risk" and "crisis" aspects.

When I was studying media at graduate school, I was very aware that Japan did not have the sufficient risk management system in place at the time of the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and the subway sarin case.
The media provides the important role of providing disaster information in order to potentially save lives. We have now begun research activities focusing on "disaster measures and the media." After starting my position at the Nihon University Law School, I have also promoted research in the field of counter-terrorism and intelligence in the United States of America as a visiting researcher at the Columbia University. Risk management can be applied to all aspects regarding natural disasters, accidents such as nuclear power, terrorism and other conflicts, so I view media communication and risk communication in various emergencies and disasters from the viewpoint of "All Hazard Approach". Although it is not clearly distinguished in Japan, in risk management there are two sides, the first being "Risk Management" before the emergency occurrence and the second, "Risk Management" after an outbreak. We will do our best to support risk management ability from both sides. for every student who studies in this department,

Risk Management Issues and Solutions from the Perspective of International Law.

The area of my specialization is international law, and I focused on "regulations against international terrorism" in particular. The treaty to punish terrorists is gradually taking ground, we will study how an established legal system that gives no “refuge” to terrorism. In recent news, perhaps have you often heard the phrase "resolve according to international law"? "International law" is a subject that combines the two subjects, "Corporate Education" and "Risk Management Education". International law regulates and solves international problems related to risk management, such as international security, disputes over territories and oceans, protection of individuals such as refugees, countering terrorism and piracy, environmental protection and disaster countermeasures. We will learn through concrete examples how it is done. I hope you realize the significance and attractiveness of ordered international law in today's international society full of various risks with your intellectual curiosity. I believe there is an increase in the need of both civil and private enterprises risk management from a point of view unique to women. Our admission welcomes many female students.

Provide the practical knowledge and planning skills for disaster management.

Based on actual experience and policy-making skills in infrastructure development and disaster prevention, I give lectures for practical disaster management practices. Knowledge about laws gained from books is not the only thing that matters at the time of crisis. Of particular importance is to come up with ideas and put them into action, standing on the frontline. Since the consensus-building approach is also important, presentation and communication skills training will be provided.
