Instead of asking the usual questions about Japanese aid ? Why
is Japanese aid so different from that of other donors? Is Japanese
aid effective? ? this collection takes it as axiomatic that
Japanese aid actors are now working in a contentious environment
affected by changing global norms of aid.
Japanese Aid and the Construction of Global Development analyses
the changing political contexts, both at home and abroad, within
which Japanese aid officials develop their programs. It tracks the
tensions facing aid officials as they seek to negotiate between a
long-term organizational bias in the Japanese government of
promoting "growth-oriented" policies, and new demands for Japan to
engage a broader array of "human security" concerns. In the third
section, contributors provide case studies of new policies designed
to cope with transnational human security issues, particularly
involving environmental protection, gender equality, and the spread
of HIV/AIDS. Finally, the book turns its lens back to Japan with
chapters on how changing aid relationships alter Japan's ability to
cope with transnational problems like refugee flows, sex
trafficking, and terrorism.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of the
politics and culture of global development, Japanese politics and
foreign policy, international relations and international law.
