Rezensionen
"The book under review ... provides an excellent and exhaustive account of how Japan's aid program in education grew over the last six and a half decades. ... an exhaustive overview of the evolution of Japan's aid policy over a long period of 65 years, of the kind presented in the book here, will certainly be of interest to a wider aid community and scholars around the world." (Jandhyala B G Tilak, Global Comparative Education - Journal of the WCCES, Vol. 6 (2), December, 2022)
