(2) Creating a pattern language for the way of involvement which draws out the initiative of residents in the field of international cooperation.
In recent years, “Participatory Development,” in which residents are involved as stakeholders, has become the mainstream concept in the field of international cooperation. This concept was originally developed to avoid forcing developed countries to impose their assistance to developing countries; however, the structure of local people taking the initiative has itself become a mere formality, as the local people’s opinions are only formally gathered. In this study, we will research effective ways to engage with local residents in order to increase their autonomy while working together to solve problems. Specifically, we will conduct interviews with local NGOs working on Mindanao Island in the Philippines and Japanese NGOs that have created shared villages, and clarify how they realize collaboration that does not deprive residents of their autonomy. We hope to learn together and consider how international cooperation can be created beyond the dichotomy of supporting and being supported, while returning to the question, “What is international cooperation?” Two or three new members are welcome to join.
