Internationalising Japan

The book explores how internationalisation a process affecting many countries throughout the world is affecting Japan. The book considers how internationalisation is imagined discussed and operationalised both in Japan and in surrounding countries; focuses in particular on educational leisure and cultural activities fields which are often overlooked in favour of economic and political developments; and concludes by assessing how internationalisation in Japan is likely to develop in future taking into account the impact of the March 2011 earthquake.
