Against the backdrop of an intensifying great power rivalry on both global and regional scales today, the growing geopolitical and geoeconomic importance of the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is widely recognized. At the same time, Japan has long been known as one of ASEAN’s most important dialogue partners, investors, and providers of ODA. Japan also enjoys the highest level of trust among ASEAN’s partners. Drawing on these observations, this workshop brings together DIJ researchers David M. Malitz, Dolf-Alexander Neuhaus, and Harald Kuemmerle and scholars from the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Kyoto University to discuss flows of knowledge between Japan and ASEAN across diverse fields and their ramifications for the international and regional order today. The hybrid event takes place on March 13, 2025 at Kyoto University and online. Details here
