Asian Economic Policy Review, 2023, vol. 18, issue 2, 220-237

Abstract: Over the past 20 years, Japan's higher education policy has been strongly influenced by national policies for achieving world‐class excellence as a tool for economic and social development. However, Japan's universities, especially the top universities, have faced difficulties in maintaining an international presence, both in terms of academic excellence and the development of globally competitive human resources. This paper reflects on how national policies, especially economic and fiscal policies, have intervened in higher education since the beginning of the 21st century, and then investigates the impact of these policies and discusses the future perspective on Japan's higher education given the current global challenges.
