Japan’s Singular Path Towards Internationalisation – Prof. Kiichi Fujiwara
On 1 October 2020, UNU hosted “Japan’s Singular Path Towards Internationalisation“, a virtual conversation with Prof. Kiichi Fujiwara, Director of the Institute for Future Initiatives and Professor of International Politics at the University of Tokyo. This event was held via Zoom Webinar at 18:30 (JST) on 1 October 2020.
Japan has gone through a variety of phases of internationalisation. In the Meiji era, scholars and statesmen — many of whom were alumni of international learning missions (such as the Iwakura Mission) — pursued a highly ambitious internationalisation path, modelling universities and government policies against their western counterparts. Then, around the turn of the century, both educational and policy doctrines assumed a more nationalist hue. In the initial post-World War II period, Japan embraced more domestic than international priorities, focusing on rebuilding the nation. The tide turned towards internationalisation again in the 1970s and 1980s, when the first iteration of JICA was established, educational reforms associated with internationalisation and diversity were passed, and Japan invested in the establishment of UNU. What phase is Japan in today? Why does Japan’s appetite for internationalisation change so significantly? Is there a discernible cause for the parallels between Japan’s foreign policy and academia?
Prof. Fujiwara joined UNU Rector David M. Malone to trace the ebb and flow of Japan’s internationalisation, and to analyse how the academic world influences Japanese foreign policy developments and strategies.
