"My involvement in ISQOLS has led to new collaborations, has broadened my knowledge base, and (selfishly) has taken me to fantastic geographic locations. The conferences are intimate enough so everyone feels welcome. It doesn’t take long to be “on the inside” at ISQOLS."

Takashi Inoguchi: My Latest Quality-of-Life related Works to Share with ISQOLS Community
Since I was given the honor of delivering the Alex Michalos Lecture at the 2017 ISQOLS annual conference at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Inoguchi, 2017), two developments have taken place in my quality of life related research. One is the revised enriched publication of my lecture in Hong Kong.
These more recent findings are reported in the forthcoming book chapter: Takashi Inoguchi, "An evidence-based typology of Asian societies: What do Asian societies look like from the bottom up instead of top down?" in Takashi Inoguchi, ed., The Sage Handbook of Asian Foreign Policy, vol.2, London: Sage Publications, forthcoming in February 2020.
