After the Second World War, Japan began paying war reparations and instituted a strategy of international positioning - based on international cooperation activities - that aimed to ensure the supply of natural resources to its production and trade. Economic security became the target of Japanese cooperation. Japan soon became a major donor, whose strategy has been permeated by its interests. Taking a critical perspective, this paper analyses the evolution of the Japanese cooperation strategy, in particular the changes promoted by the prime minister, Shinzo Abe. Its starting point is a review of the stages of Japanese cooperation (emphasising the outside interference the country has had to respond to), the underpinning of which has shifted from the principle of economic security via the principle of human security to its present greater focus on strategic security.

The international migration of qualified human resources is one of the pillars of immigration governance. Immigration policies set instruments for organizing and managing these human resources to attract skilled workers and international students in a context of global competitiveness. The main component influencing the dynamics of international migration flows to Japan is the transnational labor market of skilled resources, as well as the mechanisms that shape it. The objective of this paper is to describe the socioeconomic factors that shape, drive, and lend context to the mobility of skilled workers. The main question to answer would be: What are the characteristics of the main factors shaping migration flows between Mexico and Japan? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper represents a contribution to the knowledge about the experience of the Japanese community in rural areas of Argentina, particularly Buenos Aires (state) across the first half of the 20th century. With the objective of updating knowledge about this subject, a comparison was made between communities in peri-urban agricultural colonies: La Capilla, located in Florencio Varela, and Justo José de Urquiza, La Plata. We also focus on the origins, incursions, productive profiles, and the level of participation of Argentine and/or Japanese entities that influenced how each community developed, as well as successful companies and migrant settlement.
