EUSA Asia Pacific CONFERENCE 2023.Bangkok, Thailand

Thursday 29 & Friday 30 June 2023

Twenty-five Years of EU Studies in the Indo-Pacific: challenges, changes, prospects.

The 2023 EUSAAP annual conference and postgraduate workshop hosted by Chulalongkorn University and EUSA Thailand will celebrate and revisit the state of EU Studies within our region. This past quarter century has seen a number of frameworks introduced, spanning from the ASEM format initiated in 1996 to the 2021 EU Indo-Pacific Strategy, and interspersed with the designation of four Indo-Pacific countries as EU Strategic Partners (Japan, Korea, China, India). This conference invites papers that explore these innovations and changing priorities embracing interdisciplinary perspectives – International Relations, Political Science, Law, Economics, and History.

Programme

Programme, Presentations and Panels

The organisers reserve the right to re-arrange panels and presentations at short notice to accommodate operational requirements. Presentations are expected to be 15 minutes in length, allowing approximately 5 minutes for Q&A per paper. The session chair will facilitate the discussion.
