Abstract
In the autumn of 1945, months after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, plans were put in motion in Japan and the United States for the establishment of a new university in Japan. Through dedicated efforts on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, International Christian University (ICU) and the Japan ICU Foundation (JICUF) were incorporated in 1949. ICU was established as an international liberal arts institution committed to peacebuilding and human rights. JICUF’s purpose was to raise support for ICU in the United States. This chapter explores the partnership between ICU and JICUF. It begins with a sketch of the history, key people, and accomplishments of the partnership before exploring how the relationship has been revitalized in recent years within a rapidly evolving international landscape. Examples of programs such as the Japan–Ukraine Pathways Program, Rethinking Peace Studies, Global Link, the Syrian Scholars Initiative, and the JICUF Grants program are presented. The chapter concludes with ideas for the future of the partnership and advice for educators and policy makers.
