2017 Conference & Postgraduate
WorkshopW e are delighted to announce the annual EUSA Asia Pacific conference will be held at Aoyama Gakuin
University (Tokyo) and all EU scholars, researchers and postgraduates are invited to apply.

The Roles of the EU and the Asia Pacific in the Global Era
Politics, International Relations, Economics and Law
1+2 July 2017, Tokyo
2017 marks a critical opportunity to analyze a wide range of EU topics and challenges. The broad
conference theme reflects these diverse contexts and situations facing the EU over the coming ninemonths. The Asia Pacific context adds a similar complexity contrasting robust economic developmentwith political and security instabilities in the absence of any clear new regional or world order. How canEast Asia become more stable, peaceful and prosperous? W hat lessons or reflections can the EU andscholars of the integration process offer?

The conference will be organised around panels drawn from the disciplines of Politics, InternationalRelations, Economics and Law. W hile the conference is open to paper proposals covering all aspects ofEuropean integration, we are especially keen to encourage contributions related to the contemporary
Euro and immigration crisis, the implications of BREXIT and the first 15 years of monetary union. And,how do these themes affect the Asia Pacific both, negatively and positively?
