Abstract | The Japanese response to its recognition that the country's economic achievements implied that it should increase its interaction with the world-wide community is analysed ... Attention is particularly drawn to the significant part played by Japanese government initiatives aimed at increasing the number of foreign students coming to Japan to study and at facilitating the employment of foreign nationals as members of faculty in Japanese universities. Curricular developments within Japanese universities including undergraduate programs with an international flavour intended for Japanese students and the development of several graduate schools with a focus on international development are detailed. Programs on Japanese language and culture, some aimed at Junior Year Abroad students mainly from the USA, are noted as well as the steps taken to smooth the path of foreign researchers seeking to complete doctoral studies in Japan. ... The paper identifies a complementary movement by foreign institutions, mainly in the USA ... to establish branches in Japan; it is shown that such developments were encouraged by Japanese municipalities, especially those anxious to re- vitalize their communities.
