TIU Global Dialogue 16: Overcoming Isolationism: Japan’s Leadership in Promoting Regional Security Multilateralism


Speaker:Dr. Paul MidfordProfessor of International StudiesDepartment of Transcultural and Global StudiesMeiji Gakuin University Description:This presentation asks why, in the wake of the Cold War, Japan suddenly reversed years of steadfast opposition to security cooperation with its neighbors.

TIU Global Dialogue 15: Doing IR Differently: Relational Cosmologies Around the World


Based on a forum in International Studies Perspectives and a forthcoming special issue in Review of International Studies, this online panel addresses two challenges. First, what happens if we conceive of International Relations (IR) from a relational perspective by assuming relations as prior to the existence of entities.
