The 4th International Symposium: Security Cooperation and Regional Integration in Asia/ Dec., 3

We are pleased to annouce an upcoming symposium on "Security Cooperation and Regional Integration in Asia"
hoseted by the Waseda University Global COE Program "Global Institute for Asian Regional Integration (GIARI)"
on December 3rd, 2010.

The symposium addresses the prospects for the future security architecture in the Asia-Pacific region. This is the fourth of a series of symposia on regional integration. Thus far the debate has centered on economic and social aspects of integration. This time we will focus our attention on security issues. We hope to flesh out the determinants and inpediments for regional security cooperation. Experts from the United States, China, South Korea, ASEAN, Australia and Japan will addess the two main questions: What are the determinants of regional security cooperation? And what are the current status and future prospects for regional security cooperation?
We hope you will join our symposium to share with us your time and thoughts.
Satoshi AMAKO, Program Leader, Waseda University GIARI Chikako (KAWAKATSU) UEKI, Chairperson of the Planning Committee for the International Symposium
