International Workshop organized by the Center for Japanese Research (UBC, SPPGA, IAR):
Japan's Leadership in the Liberal International Order
January 24-25 at UBC, (Choi Building)
Opening Dinner: Jan 23 evening
UPDATED: Since 2016, Japan has shown remarkable leadership on several dimensions of global and regional economic governance, including trade governance (CPTPP, EU-Japan FTA, RCEP, Japan-US trade agreement, WTO reforms), economic and data governance (Osaka G20 in 2019, including Osaka track on data with trust, quality infrastructure, global finance), regional rules-based order (Free and Open Indo Pacific, stabilized relations with China, strategic engagement with India and ASEAN), and environmental governance (oceans, climate). This workshop focuses on the following questions:
- How significant is this new phase of Japanese international leadership in historical perspective?
- What factors are driving this new global leadership?
- Where has Japan's leadership been limited, and what are the constraints?
