| Research Abstract |
This research analysed the impact and potential of the international human resource development nexus in Japan’s immigration law and policy. Taking note of concepts such as ‘intellectual contribution’, ‘transfer of technology’, and 'sustainable investment’, the author tested the hypothesis that international capacity building comprises a distinct and viable pillar in the formation of Japan’s immigration law/policy. Particular attention was paid to programme formation involving the admission of, 1) international students, 2) technical interns, and 3) nurses and care-givers admitted under Economic Partnership Agreements. Moreover, a comparative angle, involving an examination of foreign policy considerations evident in Australian and German immigration models, was added.
Research results achieved in FY 2013 primarily consisted of 1) gathering literature/exchanging opinions at academic conferences (Japan Association for Migration Policy Studies (JAMPS); Japan-Australian Higher Education Seminar; MEXT-sponsored “Internationalizing Japanese Universities: The Global 30 Experience"); 2) conducting an overseas research survey in Australia (Australian National University, Monash University, University of Melbourne: 2013/12/10-18); 3) giving a presentation on the findings of this research at JAMPS (“Learning and Labouring ~ International Human Resources Development in Japan’s Immigration Paradigm, and Insights from Germany and Australia”: Waseda University, 2014/3); and, 4) the writing of an academic article due to be published in autumn 2014.
