Why is it important?

To the west, the way Japan works -- including its universities -- remains somewhat opaque. We hope this paper provides at least one glimpse into the issue, for the English-reading world.

Perspectives

Those interested in Japan in particular should contact the first author, Dr. Yukiko Yamaguchi, at Saga University, Kyushu, Japan. Those interested in the issues of global university-industry-government links in general should contact one of the editors of the book, Dr. Romeo V. Turcan of Aalborg University, Denmark.
