Established in October 2020 with the support of the Japan Foundation, the Japan program serves as an independent platform to advance academically rigorous discussions on geostrategic developments in Asia and the Indo-Pacific region, enhance awareness of Tokyo’s foreign and security policy, inform and shape the policy agenda confronting the Japanese and European leadership and promote political and security cooperation between Japan and Europe, focusing specifically on the EU and NATO.
Module 3:
The third and final module of the Japan Program’s lecture series looks at Japan’s role as a global security actor. Zooming out of the Indo-Pacific region, it focuses on Tokyo’s evolving relationship with Europe, its engagement in and with NATO, as well as its overall approach to global multilateralism – within the UN framework and beyond – exploring the foundations and the contours of its outward-looking foreign and security policy.
