(1) Key Theme: Challenge and Harmony in Asia
Globalization and regionalism have brought major changes to Asian politics, economy, and society.; COVID-19 is also promoting such trends. In the midst of this rapid change, confrontations are occurring among the U.S., China, ASEAN, Japan, and other countries, while at the same time, harmony is being achieved through international cooperation and regionalism. The two sides of challenge and harmony are intersecting in various fields such as security, economy, development, public health, democracy, civil society, migration, human rights, and social integration. In this conference, we hope that young researchers who will be responsible for Asia in the future will look at Asia in the 21st century, analyze its challenges and its harmonies, and explore ways of dialogue.
