Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through my visits to Cambodia I was able to visit and interview numerous aid officials in the bilateral aid agencies of Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and other agencies such as UNESCO, UNICEF, and the World Bank. This enabled me to collect data in the form of documents and interview data which I subsequently analyzed to be presented at a conference and for publication in an international research journal. I was able to present my research and publish one article over the past year as a result of the research financed by this JSPS research grant. The presentation was made at a symposium at the University of Tokyo on the topic of internationalization of education research in Japan.
