The Center for Public Service celebrated the 13th year of the Seoul Metropolitan Government Public Administration One-Year Professional Development Program with presentations from two visiting scholars. Their research topics included "Towards an Inclusive Seoul: Comparative Analysis of Urban Social Integration Policies" and "Sustainable Tourism: Environmental, Social, and Economic Impacts."

Dr. Makoto (Mack) Suzuki will serve as a visiting researcher at our center from April through the end of February next year. Mack has taught finance and microeconomics at Bunkyo University in Tokyo, Japan. Through his interactions with Mogami Town in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, he has developed a strong interest in population migration and urban planning. He has also developed strategies to address the depopulation of rural areas and the concentration of population in Tokyo—both significant issues in the country—which are the focus of his new research.
He also plans to undertake an empirical analysis of how differences in corporate governance structures between Japanese and U.S. companies affect corporate management.
Mack has lived in New York and New Jersey for ten years, but this is his first time living on the West Coast. He is looking forward to enjoying the surrounding nature in his spare time.

Research Topic: Migration, Urban Planning, and Depopulation in Japan & Japan–U.S. Corporate Governance Comparison
