About Seminar

Vision

Create New Public Values

Shinohara Seminar aims to create new public values by building theoretical frameworks in the field of public administration. As Benington (2011) describes, public value is co-created in a shared space shaped by values, institutions, rules, and cultural resources—held by the public and entrusted to government. To pursue this vision, we see the seminar as a collaborative community, committed to long-term thinking and meaningful impact.

Study with an Global View Point

Around the world, public administration has evolved flexibly to address the changing challenges faced by governments. In contrast, Japan's approach has often focused on historical and institutional continuity. Shinohara Seminar seeks to go beyond this framework, exploring public administration through a broader, more dynamic, and global perspective.
