For several decades internationalisation has been a cornerstone of
both Japanese government higher education policy and approaches to
reform at an institutional level, but Japan has still not managed
to lose its reputation as a somewhat reclusive member of the global
academic community. Consensus on the potential of
internationalisation to reinvigorate Japanese higher education is
matched by the depth of recognition that universities have, to
date, failed to internationalise successfully. This book offers a
new approach to Japan's internationalisation conundrum by
proceeding from the 'inside out'. It presents an extended case
study one university organisation that has been changed through its
adoption of a radical program of internationalisation. Through this
case study Jeremy Breaden identifies patterns by which
internationalisation is situated in administrative discourse and
individual action, and determines how these patterns in turn shape
organisational practice. The result is a multi-dimensional
narrative of organisational change that advances our understanding
of both the dynamics of university reform and the concept of
internationalisation, one of the most durable yet contentious
themes in the study of contemporary Japanese society. With detailed
analysis and an in-depth case study, this book will be of interest
to students and scholars of Japanese studies, sociology and
anthropology. It will also prove valuable to professionals and
policy makers working in higher education, both in Japan and around
the world.
