The book gathers ten research-based chapters with the goal of applying them as shared knowledge for the long-term sustainability of Bangladesh-Japan relations. The chapters examine the evolution of Bangladesh-Japan relations in light of the global trend of bilateral relations. The book’s chapters attempt to conduct a comparative study among South Asian countries, with relevant policy recommendations for further improving bilateral relations. Despite its asymmetry, many academics and a cross-section of Bangladeshis believe that the Japanese economic development model should be replicated in Bangladesh. To investigate those possibilities, a couple of chapters in this book revisited Bangladesh-Japan’s diplomatic relations. This book’s intended audience includes academics, researchers, international organizations, policymakers, and government officials. In particular, it can serve as a focal point for students and social science researchers seeking to understand the past, present, and future trends in Japan-Bangladesh relations. It would also lay the groundwork for studies of the region, particularly in Japan and East Asia. It is hoped that undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students will regard it as a treasure.
