Department of International Organizations and Global Security Studies Institute of Political Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences invites to the research seminar “Understanding competing regionalisms and re-/pro-active diplomacy in Asia”.
September 27th, 12.00-01.30pm CEST (07.00-08.30pm JST) on Zoom
Participants:
Stephen Nagy (International Christian University, Tokyo)
Shin Kawashima (University of Tokyo)
Discussion will be moderated by Marta Tomczak (IPS PAS).
The aim of the webinar is to analyze two competing regionalisms in the Indo-Pacific region, China’s Belt Road Initiative (BRI) and Japan’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific Vision (FOIP), while using two approaches: the rational-legal perspective and the process-oriented perspective. Not only do these analytical tools allow to explore the development and interplay of the two initiatives and the evolving diplomatic efforts of the two Asian powers in fostering relationships with other countries in the region, but they also show the dynamics in the Sino-Japanese diplomacy itself. The speakers are renowned IR scholars of the region that, by the size of its economy and the nature of its relationship with the United States, has become the key actor in defining the new world order.
