The Japan-Global Development Program (JGDP) is a program jointly implemented and managed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the International University of Japan as part of the JICA Development Studies Program (JICA-DSP). Its aim is to provide an opportunity to learn universal development and growth logic across the fields of politics, economy and management, using Japan's experiences in economic development and corporate growth as basic case materials. The JGDP is an international human resource development program introduced by the University as the first joint program between GSIR and GSIM. Its outstanding characteristics are : 1. International students learn logic and lessons in development from Japan’s experiences (both successes and failures) and acquire knowledge and skills to consider development strategies for their homelands. 2. Japanese students develop the ability to explain the logic of Japanese development in English by learning about Japan's experiences. With that skill, they are able to communicate their knowledge with the world. 3. Students who will work in the international arena in the future learn the universal logic of economic development and corporate growth using Japan’s experiences as case materials. The JGDP is not intended to be a program that trains Japan specialists. The logic and lessons from Japan’s experience will help future leaders from abroad as they think about strategies for development back home. Thus, the logic behind Japan’s experience can be applied to various global scenarios. That is why we call this program the Japan- Global Development Program. It enables Japanese students to explain their country’s development logically when they go abroad and helps them play an active role as global leaders.
