With Makio Miyagawa (Consul-general of Japan in Geneva) and Sayuri Shirai (Lecturer in Economics, Keiô University, Japan).
Japan is confronted with China’s high-speed growth: what are the sources of dynamism of its diplomacy and the strategies deployed by its companies to meet the challenge? The presentations will show that Chinese growth is very much a trigger of changes and renewal within Japan.
The conference is organized by Asia Centre – Centre Études Asie and Sciences-po’s Groupe d'Économie Mondiale. The conference will be held in english and jointly chaired by François Godement, Sciences Po/Asia Centre and Patrick Messerlin, director of Sciences-po’s Groupe d'Économie Mondiale.

Professor James Z. Lee (Frederick Huetwell Professor and Director, Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan; Changjiang Scholar and Director, PKU-UM Joint Institute at Peking University) will introduce in his presentation the preliminary results of an ongoing project on higher education, social mobility and stratification in China (1952-1999).
Professor Lee and his colleagues, notably Cameron Campbell (Pr in Sociology, UCLA), are known in particular for the production and analysis of large-scale individual-level socio-demographic data from the late imperial times to the present.
The conference is organized by Asia Centre – Centre Études Asie and the Centre Asia-Pacifique from DAIE of Sciences Po. The conference will be in english and introduced by François Godement, Sciences Po/Asia Centre.

The new strategic and security issues in East Asia and the Middle East
2-3 July 2007, Tokyo. This dialogue, with scholars and participants from the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence and their Japanese counterparts, considered from a variety of angles North Korea and the security of North-East Asia, the situation of China and its relations with Japan and the United States, the rise of India and its influence over Asia as well as stability in the Middle East. Lastly, France’s Asia policy was the subject of a paper...
With the following Japanese participants: S. Tomoda, C. Kokubo and Y. Nikaido (JIIA), T. Kikuchi and S. Takagi (Aoyama Gakuin U.), Amb. H. Hirabayashi, H. Kurata (Kyorin U.), K. Suetsugu (Asia Pacific Energy Forum), K Tanaka (JIME-Center), A. Takahara (Tokyo U.) and French participants: M. Duchâtel, G. Delamotte and F. Godement (Asia Centre), P. Levy and M. Lafont-Rapnouil (CAP), P. Le Corre and I. St-Mézard (DAS).
North East Asia is by far the most significant economic area within Asia, in GDP, financial or technological terms. Japan’s industrial firms have remained at the cutting edge of global competition, with some large Korean groups joining them. China’s economic rise is unparalleled at the beginning of the 21st century. The three countries exercise a powerful influence in most areas of soft power over the Asia-Pacific. “Reform” – understood differently and covering different agendas – is the key word in China, Japan and Korea, as it was at the end of the 19th century in Japan with the beginning of the Meiji era.
Yet historical, political and strategic obstacles of a wide and long lasting variety prevent the emergence of a full-fledged regional cooperation in North-East Asia. To come to terms with the Pacific War and its aftermath, all parties must get involved in a critical work on history and settle territorial disputes. Political regime differences with respect to the role of public opinion, the nature of education and information, the perceived legitimacy and role of domestic factors in foreign policy constitute obstacles to an improved understanding between societies. Huge imbalances in levels of development, a growing apprehension over natural resources, mutual economic fears, and uncertainty about the relative status of the region’s key countries in the near future contribute to misunderstandings.
All of the above themes of deep concern for Japan’s future deserve to be treated with utmost attention to different judgments and interpretations. European scholars have quarrelled more than most in the past on similar historical themes and on the policies of Europe’s nation-states. But they have also, in the last half-century, contributed their share to a process of reconciliation and to a better understanding of national issues and interests, leading to regional cooperation and a process of European-wide integration. Today, scholars from the main countries of North-East Asia face a similar agenda and welcome the debate with their French and European counterparts.
15-16 Jan. 2007, Paris. With European support (GMF and the KAS) and French support (CAP). This high-level meeting on Western policies towards China brings together every 18 months members of the China Policy Program (GWU) and European and Asian experts as well as officials from Asia and those dealing with regional questions in the countries concerned...

2-4 June 2006 /1 June 2007, Singapore. F. Godement participates regularly in the "East Asia Security Summit" which was established in 2002 under the sponsorship of the IISS . These summits, better known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, bring together in Singapore virtually all Asia-Pacific Defence Ministers and some of their European counterparts. Combining as it does both plenary sessions and less formal workshops, the Shangri-La Dialogue has become a privileged mechanism for discussion and analysis of security matters. In 2007, after years of maintaining a cautious distance, China sent as its delegate General Zhang Qinsheng, Deputy Chief of Staff of the PLA.
The new strategic balance in North-East Asia
28-29 Sept. 2006, Paris. With the support of the DAS (MinDef) and the DGCID (MoFa).
At a time of change of government in Tokyo and new tensions in the Korean peninsula with the announcement of a nuclear test, both these questions took on a particular importance.
Asia Centre, in partnership with the JIIA and in cooperation with the IHEDN, brought together at the Ecole Militaire a panel of experts and top ranking politicians from Japan, France and Europe. These included the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Koji Kakizawa, the directors of IHEDN, V.A. François Dupont, and JIIA, Makio Miyagawa, the chairman of the Board of IISS, F. Heisbourg, and FRS director G. Schlumberger. The question of a new strategic balances in North-East Asia was considered from the perspectives of military modernisation and China’s strategic stance, Sino-Japanese relations (cooperation and strategic interests) and from a sense of history’s legacy and how to overcome it. The exchange ended with a roundtable on the roles of North-East Asia in the Community of East Asia...
With the following Japanese participants: Takashi Kawakami (U. Takushoku), Tsutomu Kikuchi and Seiichirô Takagi (U. Aoyama Gakuin), Tsutomu Ôkawa (Japanese Embassy in China), Katsuhiko Suetsugu (Asia Pacific Energy Forum) and European participants: C. W. Hughes (U. Warwick) R. Dujarric (NIPS /JIIA), J-M.

Briens (CAP).
28-29 Feb. 2006, Beijing. The strategic dimension of the Sino-European relation, which has been fostered since 2004, has resulted in a good number of dialogues. In 2006, Asia Centre in Paris, the CER in London and DGAP in Berlin, as well as CASS in Beijing and other Chinese think tanks, decided to look at certain strategic questions for their potential to stimulate cooperation, beyond short-time issues such as trade conflict or the arms embargo. Energy and the environment, development, global governance and the fight against proliferation have been on the agenda of this working group...
Chinese participants: Chen Shuxun (CRF), Cui Zhiyuan (Tsinghua U.), Feng Zhongping (CICIR), Gao Shixian (NDRC), Gu Guoliang, Huang Ping, Pan Jiahua and Zhou Hong (CASS), Pan Zhenqiang (NDU), Xing Hua (CIIS); European participants: F. Godement, C. Grant and M. Leonard (CER), E. Sandschneider (DGAP) and A. Small (GMF)
The 6th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) and the 9th EU-China Summit both take pace in Helsinki in September. Several bilateral and multilateral informal dialogues have focused on the strategic dimension of the Sino-European dialogue since it has become a goal for both sides in 2004.
In 2006, Asia Centre in Paris, the CER (Center for European Reform) in London and the DGAP (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik) in Berlin, as well as the CASS (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) in Beijing and other Chinese think tanks, have worked together on long-term strategic issues that are contentious but have the potential to foster fruitful co-operation, beyond short-term questions such as trade disputes or the EU arms embargo on China.
The available “EU-China Compact*” is designed to set out a concrete agenda for co-operation, by concentrating on some of the most important issues of concern on the international agenda – global and regional governance, development, energy and non-proliferation.
* This document draws on the ideas that emerged from our discussions, but we have not asked individual researchers or the institutions they represent to sign up to all its recommendations.
Organised on a regular basis by the INPR (Taiwan) in partnership with Asia Centre (Paris), the CSIS (Hawaï) and the ISDS (Manila)...
