Japan's universities: Autonomy gradually rising, but government role still crucial

What is it about?

This paper (chapter in a book on global university-industry-government links) looks at the issue of university autonomy in Japan, via a very specific case study.

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.
