About The Summer Institute 2008

The Waseda University Global COE Program, the Global Institute for Asian Regional Integration (GIARI), is accepting applications from PhD students to attend the Summer Institute on Regional Integration. The Institute will provide students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge about regional integration in Asia and expand their research networks.

The Summer Institute encourages the application of PhD students conducting theoretical and empirical research on issues related to regional integration in Asia from various aspects, including but not limited to politics, security, economics, sociology, culture, and multidisciplinary studies. The Institute will provide a supportive environment where students can share their ideas, receive feedback on their research projects, and exercise their abilities to offer constructive and critical advice. The seven-day program will also include advice on practical matters such as conducting fieldwork.

The program will include a number of panels, providing students the opportunity to present their work with the aim to potentially publish the best papers in the Asian Regional Integration Review (ARIR).
