Graduate School of International Development

The Graduate School of International Development (GSID) at Nagoya University was established in 1991 as an independent institution specializing in international cooperation in the Pacific Rim region. The mission of GSID is to encourage intellectuals to address the global issues through innovative thinking grounded in a sustainable social science perspective. This mission is pursued through the following three objectives:

1. Promote empirical research based on social-science theories and methods that can inform the policy-making and implementation processes of the international community, governments, and civil society.
2. Train professionals who can contribute to state or community-building cooperation with the international community and completely understand national and local realities.
3. Expand the worldwide network with governments, universities, and international organizations through research and teaching to realize sustainable development and just societies globally.^[1][2]

GSID offers master's and doctoral degrees through its Department of International Development and Cooperation.
