“…Japan, South Korea and China promoted their development knowledge as more relevant and practical for developing countries than traditional donors' abstract development models (see Doucette, 2020;Ohno andOhno, 2013, 1998). Such policy narratives about DKS evoke both images of empathy/solidarity and high expectations from Southern partners (see Watanabe, 2019;Mawdsley, 2018).

Development knowledge sharing (DKS) by Japan, South Korea and China has rapidly expanded over the last decade. However, little scholarly attention has been paid to the nature and processes of their claimed-to-be ‘unique’ development knowledge production. To address this research gap, we explore their international development studies (IDS) as key sites where researchers and resources are ‘mobilized’ under high-level policy initiatives. We find that processes of DKS are principally dictated by the governmental agenda. We also find that, in contradiction to three countries’ claim of ‘unique knowledge’, their IDS share common traits with Western IDS offering knowledge that is decontextualized, depoliticized and which claims to be universally applicable knowledge.
