| Research Abstract |
Whilst Japan's Government and influential lobby groups continue to underscore the strategic significance of of admitting an increasing number of highly-skilled foreign professionals, a conspicuous feature of Japan's immigration framework has been the parallel development of immigration as a means of international human resource development and/or international contribution. Noting the importance of the concepts of intellectual contribution, international human resource development, and transfer of technology in Japan's immigration framework, as well as MOJ, METI, MOFA, and MHLW policy reports, this research investigates the hypothesis that international capacity-building constitutes a dominant element of Japan's immigration law an policy. Through comparative analysis, moreover, it test the proposition that such an immigration model is uniques amongst industrialised nations.
