Japan and the development of Africa: A preliminary evaluation of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development

Abstract

From the early 1960s to the late 1980s, relations between Japan and sub-Saharan Africa were very low-key.This, Japanese policy-makers proclaimed, was because Japan had no history of colonial involvement in Africa, and the lack of historical guilt exempted their country from participating in Africa's economic development. Since the early 1990s, however, Japan has been reassessing its relations with the countries in the region and now seems to have decided on a more pro-active approach to African affairs organized through the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD).
