"...Japan's Aid provides an insightful overview into the various facets of Japanese development assistance and in doing so provides an interesting look into the current state of aid policies in major donor countries today. It is an excellent resource for students, researchers and, most importantly, policy makers interested in exploring a comparative approach on the subject, something unfortunately very few resources provide today." — Journal of Economics and Political Economy, Volume 1, Issue 2, 2014
