Born out of a bilateral project between distinguished scholars in Japan and the United States, Transnational Competence provides a definitive and comprehensive study of the status of relations between these two countries in an educational context. The book covers a wide-ranging array of themes, from an analysis of the traditions of educational exchange, the role of grassroots organizations, the knowledge network, university exchanges, language competence and scientific and technical exchanges. Contributors include Yoshiya Abe, Philip G. Altbach, Peggy Blumenthal, William K. Cummings, John N. Hawkins, Kazue Masuyama, Akimasa Mitsuta, Shigeru Nakayama, Tina Yamano Nisida, Yoshiro Tanaka, Toru Umakoshi, Roberta Wollons, and Richard J. Wood.
