E-JUST is an international joint university funded with Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA). Jane Knight defines a role of contemporary international higher education, research and innovation (IHERI) such as international joint universities as knowledge diplomacy as it develops relations between/among countries. The idea of knowledge diplomacy has begun to receive more attention from scholars and professionals in the context of the significantly changing landscape of both IHERI and IR. This paper illustrates how E-JUST is operationalized in line with the five elements forming the concept of knowledge diplomacy which are introduced by Knight. The analysis of E-JUST reveals advantages and disadvantages of the institution working as knowledge diplomacy using ODA: the advantages are relatively quick achievements with a secured budget and experienced diplomacy and, the disadvantages are limitation of its impact on IR and lack of active involvement of IHERI authority and institutions.}, pages = {1--13}, title = {Can the E-JUST Project by Japanese ODA Work as Knowledge Diplomacy in International Relations?}, volume = {21}, year = {2024} }
