21COE Program - Asian Development Experience and its Transferability

@
Institute for Comparative Studies in Local Governance

In 2003, GRIPS inaugurated the Center of Excellence (COE) program Asian Development Experience and Its Transferability. Funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, this program is part of the ministry’s “21st Century COE Program” launched to cultivate a competitive academic environment among Japanese universities by supporting the creation of world-standard research and education bases.

The GRIPS COE program fosters empirical and policy strategy research in the field of international development. The ultimate goals of our activities are to compile, disseminate, and discuss the development experiences of East Asia; present concrete policy proposals on international development strategies and aid approaches to policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in developing countries, donor agencies, and Japan; and play a catalytic role in shaping global development trends. Our analysis of the applicability of East Asian experiences is based on a comparative perspective on East Asia and other developing regions such as Africa.

Rather than being locked into a domestic framework, we value network building across institutions and conduct discussions and joint research with international research institutions, major donor agencies, and other universities. We identify and mobilize young talented overseas researchers, especially those who have studied in Japan, and support them to play a part in developing research and policy proposals. To this end, we have chosen Vietnam--an economic latecomer in East Asia—as a pilot country for our innovative program and established a research office in Hanoi. The COE program is conducted in collaboration with the Development Strategy Research Project and Development Forum Project.
