A research project undertaken by the United Nations University and Waseda University has led to the recent publication of two edited books: "Human Security and Natural Disasters", and "Human Security and Japan's Triple Disaster".

This event brings together the editors of the two books as well as a number of chapter contributors from the second volume, who have examined the political, social and economic consequences of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident that struck Japan on 11 March 2011.

There will be brief presentations by the speakers, followed by open discussion between the panel and audience members. Afterwards there will be a reception with light food and drinks.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Best,

Christopher Hobson
