International Student Mobility in Japan: Higher Education in the Era of the New Normal

Published by Routledge, this academic volume explores the complex landscape of international student mobility within Japan, particularly in the wake of significant global shifts. Written by Sachihiko Kondo, the work examines how Japanese higher education institutions have adapted their policies and recruitment strategies to navigate the constraints and realities of a new era. It situates these changes within the broader context of Japan's efforts to internationalize its campus environments while managing domestic demographic challenges.

The text serves as a critical resource for policymakers and scholars of higher education, focusing on the systemic shifts that occurred during and after the period of restricted global movement. Kondo analyzes the delicate balance between quality assurance in education and the economic pressures of maintaining international enrollment. The volume is part of a broader academic discourse on educational migration, contributing to a deeper understanding of how host nations refine their pedagogical and administrative frameworks to remain attractive destinations for global talent.
