This book is a study of cross-border activity in and around Japanese universities, employing 'Asia' as the cornerstone of inquiry. It offers qualitative, case-based analysis of Asia-oriented student mobility and partnership projects, framed by critical evaluation of discourses and texts concerning Japan's positioning in an era of Asian ascendancy.

Jeremy Breaden is a Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies at the School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics, Monash University.
