As a result of this program, have your ideas about regional integration in
Asia changed? If so, how?
Yes!
Yes, the conference provided a very interesting overview of the “hot topics” currently
discussed in the context of Asian integration. The comparison with the European
integration and integration in other regions especially interesting.

Definitely, both theoretically and psychologically. More importantly, I have gained atbetter understanding of development and issues that can influence integration in varyingregions.

Yes, due to being so lucky to attend lectures by such distinguished professors. I have been
exposed to new ideas on regionalism which we updated to fit the contemporary world welive in –interesting. I have also gained new ideas of the purpose and methodology ofcomparative regional studies.

Confirmation that there is still a long way to go, yet there is a willingness to move forward,
and recognition of its importance.

I can have more comparative perspective between Asia and Europe.

Yes, coming from a different background I have greater idea regarding regional integration.
I believe that all the students, who have come from various backgrounds, will forward
their experience from this program to contribute to achieving regional integration.

Asian integration is much more complex than it is. I didn’t realize the depth and reach andextend of areas that I, as a researcher, hasn’t explored yet.

No, but…


Not much, but my appreciation for the depth of integration in Europe has been raised.

I am not sure if my ideas have changed through this summer institute but it certainly has
broadened my perspective. It is also meaningful to talk to other researches with similarinterests.

Generally not, but the program provides many new information.

No, but I have learned a lot.
