The National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Japan, and the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, will co-host the GRIPS-RSIS Workshop on “Promoting Regional Stability amid Geopolitical Upheavals”, inviting researchers and experts across the regions.

Synopsis: There are multiple pressures on the international order today, arising from ongoing military confricts as well as continuing geostrategic contestation between the major powers. These have led to challenges for many countries around the world, as they seek to strengthen their security and deal with unstable energy and food supplies and continuing inflation. Amid these challenges, Indo-Pacific countries are committed to maintaining a stable regional order. This panel webinar will examine the impact of current geopolitical upheavals on the region and discuss how Indo-Pacific countries could expand their scope of cooperation to promote regional stability, including through ASEAN and ASEAN-led avenues. The event is co-organised by RSIS and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Japan.
