Dear Colleagues,

You are all invited to this workshop on the future of global governance and Japan's role at the I-House on July 26. It will bring a good group of prominent international experts to Japan.

“Global governance in the 21st century - towards establishment of responsible leadership”

How can global leadership be revitalized to achieve global peace and prosperity against the background of the increasing challenges such as global economic crisis, need to consolidate free trade regime, increasing energy and environment constraints?
The developed nations are occupied with domestic issues such as public debt and becoming inwardlooking whereas the newly emerging nations such as BRICs are not well experienced in creating institutional framework for global governance to deal with the global challenges, though their economic dynamism is noteworthy.
G8 or G20 are working well? How can the international organizations like WTO be revived? The distinguished well known experts world-wide on the international politics as well as economy will discuss those issues.
Assuming that Japan is expected to show her capacity in diplomacy in the 21st century, the conference is providing us the best venue to show Japan’s readiness to take this responsibility by issuing her intellectual contribution on global governance at first to the international community.
