### Symposium ★ Vacature

March 30th, 2007 | Category: News & Announcements

27 April is het zover: dan vindt het door Tanuki georganiseerde symposium Towards a pro-active defense policy? plaats. Wij zijn trots om de volgende sprekers te kunnen presenteren:

Dr. Christopher W. Hughes Warwick University

Gen. Maj. Kees Homan Clingendael Institute

Luit. Kol. Dr. Marcel de Haas Clingendael Institute
Dr. Richard Sherman Leiden University

Dr. Koen de Ceuster Leiden University

Dr. Kiri Paramore ( Chair of panel-discussion) Leiden University

> Under Prime Minister Abe Shinzo the Japanese defence-forces take on a more and more active role. After transforming the Self-Defence Agency into the Ministry of Defence, the next step might very well be a revision of the constitution and the establishment of an official army. What are the motives of this change in defence-policy? And how does it relate to other countries that have a stake in the region?

> The symposium will start with a general introduction about the rationale of military build-up, explained by Gen. Maj. Kees Homan. Subsequently, Dr. Christopher Hughes, co-author of the book Japan’s International Relations will give a lecture about Japan’s defence policy. This will be followed by a critique from the viewpoint of the US, given by Dr. Richerd Sherman and a lecture about Russia’s military presence in the region, given by Luit. Kol. Dr. Marcel de Haas. Finally, China, Japan, the US and Russia and will be represented by the above lecturers during the final panel-discussion, also joined by Dr. Koen de Ceuster who will represent Korea’s view.

> This symposium aims at providing a broad view of the regional context of Japan’s security. What can we expect in the near future of Japan, and what can we expect from the other countries? By approaching these matters from different angels, we hope to provide insight into possible answers to these questions.
