Research Topic

Enhancing Higher Education Governance in ASEAN+3: An Internationalization Framework

Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 4.3 and Waseda University’s Global Asia Studies research initiatives, my WIAS research project aims to develop a framework for international higher education (IHE) to enhance governance in the ASEAN+3 Community. This framework will bridge knowledge gaps and identify effective practices to improve educational integration, access, equity, and quality. Key objectives include evaluating the current IHE status, comparing European and ASEAN+3 internationalization processes, and identifying Japan’s role in fostering regional collaboration.
