Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Since Japan became the largest foreign aid donor in 1989, Japan has assumed a greater role in the international community. Meanwhile, Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) has become one of the most important tools in Japan’s foreign policy. The question arises why did Japan conduct its own independent economic development policies in Asia, while Japan’s other foreign policies were greatly influenced by external factors such as the United States? Furthermore, why did Japan's colonial policy and ODA policy toward Asia share similar economic development approaches, even though historical contexts and purposes changed? This study examines theoretical explanations for the continuity in foreign economic policy outcomes despite significant changes in international and domestic politics. Based on historical case studies of Japan’s colonial development policy for Manchuria and Japan’s ODA policies for Indonesia, this research applies the role of ideas to analyze the cause of the policy continuity and the Japanese economic development approach in Asia. This study found that similar Japanese economic development approaches were adopted because of the continuity in personnel and the ideas they held. Six ideas of Japanese economic approach were identified:(1) promoting a self-help effort system; (2) seeking mutual interests between Japan and Asian countries; (3) a state-led economy and long-term development plan; (4) efficient public-private cooperation; (5) utilizing foreign capital and technology; and (6) an aim to establish an Asian economic bloc. While the ideas were carried out through the continuity of personnel, the ideas were institutionalized through organizational routines, and enforced by the unchanged bureaucratic political system in the postwar period.
