Abstract

Why do we need to rethink about the way we study and make sense of global diplomacy? In this lecture, I explore how cultural approaches can illuminate important aspects of diplomacy which have not been adequately considered in much of the existing scholarly literature.

Upcoming Events

Exploring the Future of Crowdsourced Healthcare (Lecture by Prof. Simo HOSIO)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Artificial intelligence already has the potential to revolutionize healthcare in the near-future.

The International Tax Framework in a Fragmenting World (Lecture by Prof. Pascal SAINT-AMANS)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Friday, 20 October 2023, 16:00-17:30 JST

Over the past 15 years, a massive transformation of the international tax framework has occurred. Traditional instruments, like tax treaties and transfer pricing rules, have been modified and completed by new rules aiming to better fight tax evasion and tax avoidance, including a global minimum tax of 15% for large multinationals. Conducted by more than 100 countries, under the supervision of the G20, these changes have also fostered tax cooperation between authorities. What will happen to this reform in a context of geopolitical fragmentation and crisis of global governance?

Culture and Democracy in Contemporary Korea (Lecture by Prof. KIM Hang)

講演会/Lecture

Tuesday, 24 October 2023, 10:30-12:00 JST

The so-called 'K' culture originating from South Korea has gained popularity not only in Japan but also globally. This talk will focus on understanding this current situation in the context of political, economic, and societal changes in South Korea since the late 1990s. By doing so, it will provide an opportunity to shed light on the relationship between culture and democracy in contemporary South Korea, and offer some modest insights for contemplating the often turbulent Japan-Korea relations.
