  • Asian Development Bank–Japan Scholarship Program Brochure For
    MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR GENERAL The Asian Development Bank (ADB)–Japan Scholarship Program (JSP) was established in April 1988 with financing from the Government of Japan. The program has so far provided more than 3,000 students from ADB’s developing member countries with an opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies in economics, business and management, science and technology, and other development-related fields at participating academic institutions in Asia and the Pacific. The 2014/2015 academic year marks the 21st anniversary of Mongolian citizens’ acceptance into the program. In the last 20 years, the ADB–JSP has helped 125 Mongolian citizens to advance their education in various academic institutions in Asia and the Pacific. Today, the ADB–JSP scholars are working in both the government and the private sector across Mongolia—in education, business, banking and finance, and other sectors—and are making positive contributions to the country’s development. We are proud of our scholars and we continue to stay in touch with them as they progress in their chosen careers. This ADB–JSP publication for Mongolia contains general information about the program, as well as success stories of some Mongolian ADB–JSP scholars and alumni. We believe that their stories will encourage many more Mongolian citizens to become ADB–JSP scholars and realize their dreams for Mongolia’s development. Together with the Mongolian ADB–JSP alumni, I wish to express our sincere gratitude to the government and the people of Japan for their generous contribution and continued support to the ADB–JSP. Ayumi Konishi Director General East Asia Department Asian Development Bank 3 THE SCHOLARSHIP Who are Eligible? • Must be a national of an ADB-borrowing member country (applicants from countries that are no longer ADB borrowers are not eligible for the scholarship).

    DRAFT Australia and Japan A New Economic Partnership in Asia A Report Prepared for Austrade by Peter Drysdale Crawford School of Economics and Government The Australian National University Tel +61 2 61255539 Fax +61 2 61250767 Email: [email protected] This report urges a paradigm shift in thinking about Australia’s economic relationship with Japan. The Japanese market is a market no longer confined to Japan itself. It is a huge international market generated by the activities of Japanese business and investors, especially via production networks in Asia. More than ever, Australian firms need to integrate more closely with these supply chains and networks in Asia. 1 Structure of the Report 1. Summary 3 2. Japan in Asia – Australia’s economic interest 5 3. Assets from the Australia-Japan relationship 9 4. Japan’s footprint in Asia 13 5. Opportunities for key sectors 22 6. Strategies for cooperation 32 Appendices 36 References 42 2 1. Summary Japan is the second largest economy in the world, measured in terms of current dollar purchasing power. It is Australia’s largest export market and, while it is a mature market with a slow rate of growth, the absolute size of the Japanese market is huge. These are common refrains in discussion of the Australia-Japan partnership over the last two decades or so. They make an important point. But they miss the main point about what has happened to Japan’s place in the world and its role in our region and what those changes mean for effective Australian engagement with the Japanese economy.
