Human Security and JICA’s Research Directions
Jagannath Panda
This report summarizes Professor Mine’s presentation, which traced the evolution of human security as both an academic concept and a guiding principle of Japan’s foreign policy, especially within the structure of the JICA. His talk also illuminated the philosophical underpinnings, dual developmental and peace-oriented threads, and practical applications of human security as envisioned by JICA’s Ogata Sadako Research Institute.
