Our society, as an international community, is at a historical turning point, as the modern era of globalization that began with the end of the Cold War comes to a close. Economic security has become an important theme as geopolitical risks increase. The security environment surrounding Japan is also becoming particularly severe. In this international context, The Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) is expected to have a deep understanding of the impacts of these geopolitical risks and economic security considerations on the economy and industry through various types of economic analysis, including data-based empirical analysis, and to make recommendations for economic, trade, and industrial policies from its academic insights. For this reason, we have compiled and “visualized” the research conducted at RIETI which is relevant to these topics as a special feature.
RIETI and Australian National University (ANU) have been jointly holding symposiums. Experts from the Asia-Pacific region gather to discuss various issues that are piling up in the increasingly uncertain global economy.
We invite leading experts from Japan, the United States, Europe, and other Asian countries to give lectures about various global issues including economic security and regional affairs such as the U.S.-China conflict, the situation in the Middle East, the prospects of the Chinese economy, climate change, environmental and energy issues, the post-corona global trade system, supply chain risks, SDGs, etc. Many policy proposals are derived from information collected and discussed in these lectures.
