Since the early 1990s, Japan has played an increasingly important
and influential role in Africa. A primary mechanism that has
furthered its influence has been through its foreign aid policies.
Japan's primacy, however, has been challenged by changing global
conditions related to aid to Africa, including the consolidation of
the poverty reduction agenda and China's growing presence in
Africa. This book analyzes contemporary political and economic
relations in foreign aid policy between Japan and Africa. Primary
questions focus on Japan's influence in the African continent,
reasons for spending its limited resources to further African
development, and the way Japan's foreign aid is invested in Africa.
The context of examining Japan's foreign aid policies highlights
the fluctuation between its commitments in contributing to
international development and its more narrow-minded pursuit of its
national interests. The contributors examine Japan's foreign aid
policy within the theme of a globalized economy in which Japan and
Africa are inextricably connected. Japan and many African countries
have come to realize that both sides can obtain benefits through
closely coordinated aid policies. Moreover, Japan sees itself to
represent a distinct voice in the international donor community
while Africa needs foreign aid from all sources.
