This book explores the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) as a prime example of State-Managed International Voluntary Services (SMIVS) in Asia. It provides an in-depth analysis of the JOCV program, which has dispatched over 45,000 volunteers to 93 countries since 1965, aiming to foster international development, human resource development, and social returns. The book examines the role of state-managed voluntary services in international development, highlighting the unique contributions and impacts of JOCV. It also includes qualitative and quantitative data, personal essays, and stories from volunteers and local collaborators. Intended for researchers, students, and those interested in international voluntary service, the book serves as a comprehensive reference for understanding the dynamics and significance of state involvement in voluntary activities.
