＜Description＞
The rise of populism and nationalism in recent years has led to instability in international politics, and emerging nations have altered the power balance. At the same time, technological innovation has been accelerating and economies rapidly globalizing, leading to new issues such as increasing inequality in various areas, a trend towards xenophobia, and increased numbers of refugees and migrants. This symposium will have a panel composed of foreign journalists and Japanese experts to discuss the influence of domestic issues on foreign policy both in Japan and in Western countries. There will also be a panel discussion from a comprehensive perspective, including security and economic aspects, on what role each country can play to ensure the stability and prosperity of international society.
