University, Rangsit Campus
Significance of issue :
After the end of Cold War and
the terroist attack on 11/9, the international community has
faced a new kind of security problem. Terrorism becomes a main
obstacle for peace, security, and prosperity of the world as a
whole. And this issue should not and can not be dealt by the
military means only. In fact, as it is widely known that the
root of this problem lies on poverty, uneducated, and
undeveloped conditions of some groups of people, which may be
called the human security problems.
Japan, as a major economic
power and a member of the internaltional community, is
expected to play a crucial role in this matter, particularly
in the Southeast Asian region where the terrorist network is
claimed to be located, and the human security issues need to
be solved. At the same time, the Southeast Asian countries
themselves also realize that the terrorism and human security
are interrelated and significant for their development and
prosperity. Leaders of Japan and Southeast Asian countries
agreed at the APEC Sumit 2003 that terrorism and human
security are priority issues which get high attention from all
governments.
Therefore,
it is very important and necessary to study Japan’s policy,
role, and contributions on this issue. At the same time, it is
also very interesting to know the expectation and reaction of
Southeast Asian countries and other major powers on Japan’s
policy and activities. Moreover, apart from the academic
discussion, it is also very important to continue and expand
the network of scholars who are working on Japanese studies,
which has been already set up since 2003. For these 2 purposes,
the international conference on the above title should be
organized.
