  • A unique feature of this edited work is its compilation of various social scientific perspectives on the globalization (or non-globalization) of Japanese universities, public and private, beginning at the early stages of this most recent wave of internationalization programs
  • The contributors have an extremely wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds including many decades of teaching in Japanese universities as well as those of other countries, notably the U.S., the U.K., Nigeria, Australia and Canada
  • This work was created by people who actually have lived and worked within a variety of universities, not policy bureaucrats, looking at the issue over a period of more than ten years just for this volume

Part of the book series: Global Perspectives on Higher Education (GPHE, volume 22)

About this book

“Deftly avoiding both the zealous idealism of the policymaker and the cynical realism of the practitioner, the contributions to this volume offer empirically grounded, culturally nuanced analyses of university internationalisation in practice. Recommended reading for anyone interested in Japanese higher education today, and a fine example of how to blend engaging ‘insider’ stories with rigorous scholarly analysis.” – Jeremy Breaden, PhD (Melbourne), Lecturer in Japanese Studies, School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, Monash University


“An excellent timely publication! This book brings together critical insights and multi-dimensional understandings of internationalization, and international and intercultural practices in Japanese higher education. It will be an important sourcebook, a must-read for all interested in Japanese higher education and internationalization. It will certainly raise the bar of competencies and knowledge of the field.” – Terri Kim, PhD (London), Reader in Comparative Higher Education, Leader of the Higher Education Research Group, University of East London
