This book records the history of Japan’s international cooperation in education from the 1950s to 2020. It provides a crucial overview of the nearly 70 years since Japan began engaging in international cooperation in education in order to record and document these efforts that range from basic to higher education to technical and vocational education and training, and the large numbers of people involved in their respective areas of activity and specialization. The book provides useful indicators for exploring new forms of education cooperation in this age of global governance and beyond. The authors include not only researchers but also field practitioners, such as personnel from the Japan International Cooperation Agency and NGOs.

“The book under review … provides an excellent and exhaustive account of how Japan’s aid program in education grew over the last six and a half decades. … an exhaustive overview of the evolution of Japan’s aid policy over a long period of 65 years, of the kind presented in the book here, will certainly be of interest to a wider aid community and scholars around the world.” (Jandhyala B G Tilak, Global Comparative Education - Journal of the WCCES, Vol. 6 (2), December, 2022)
