Organizer: Waseda University Organization for Asian Studies

Objective

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Japan are the two largest powers and the most important countries in East Asia. How should we understand the relations between the two great powers since the end of World War II? How does the so-called "history problem" and mutual perception influence the bilateral relations? What are the origin of Japan’s China policy and China’s Japan policy? What research methods could we employ to better understand the bilateral relations systematically? This next generation international workshop on Sino-Japanese relations attempts to answer the questions raised above.
