Endogenous Development: The Contributions of Kazuko Tsurumi

抄録

Endogenous development has been discussed in both Japanese and Western discourse on development. However, the concepts developed from different roots, giving rise to distinct concepts. This paper examines the Japanese perspective on endogenous development, shaped largely by the work of Kazuko Tsurumi, and its difference from that of the Western concept. The paper identifies similarities and differences between the two with a particular focus on four core elements of Tsurumi's theory. It concludes by discussing the significance of Tsurumi's theory in the contemporary international development context.
