The Japan Comparative Education Society (JCES), which was established in 1965, is one of the world’s oldest societies of comparative education. In Japan, it is also one of the largest academic societies in the field of education.
This chapter describes the development of comparative education in Japan, observes the way in which the JCES fits into this history, analyses the research orientations of JCES members, and comments on the challenges ahead. Most of the chapter is based on the book Forty Years of the JCES (Saito 2004), which was published to celebrate the society’s 40th anniversary.
