SUMMARY:Italy and China’s MoU on the Belt and Road
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nMichele Geraci\, Former Undersecretary of State\, \nItalian Ministry of Economic Development \nModerated by: \nMaria Adele Carrai\, Associate Research Scholar\, \nWeatherhead East Asian Institute;  \nMarie Curie Fellow\,  \nKU Leuven School of Law \nItaly was the first G7 country to sign the MoU with China on the One Belt One Road. It has attracted lots of criticism both from part of the domestic political parties and from Italy’s traditional allies in Europe and the US. Mr. Michele Geraci has been the main promoter of this MoU\, as a mean to boost trade since Italian exports to China and investment flows have lagged those of other European peers. Debt Trap\, selling of national assets and national security were mentioned as areas where Italy should be careful\, but with so many other countries joining\, formally or not the BRI\, the Italian government and Mr. Geraci have felt the need that more proactive trade promotion activity towards China was needed\, leaving unchanged its Atlantic and European alliances \nAbout the Speaker: \nMichele Geraci is former Undersecretary of State at the Italian Ministry of Economic Development\, responsible for Trade and Investment and the main promoter of MoU on Belt&Road between Italy and China (from FT: www.tinyurl.com/yx38cytx ). Prior to that\, he had lived for ten years in China where he analyzed the Chinese economy and held finance and economics teaching roles in various universities\, including Nottingham\, NYU-Shanghai and Zhejiang University. Prior to moving to China\, Mr. Geraci was an Investment Banker in the City of London and an Electronic Engineer for over 20 years. Immediately before taking his role as undersecretary\, he was named as a choice among four nominees for Italy’s Prime Minister. He is a frequent guest on major international media and has been awarded Italian Knighthood honor by Italian President Mattarella. He holds an MBA from MIT Sloan. \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration Required \n

SUMMARY:US-China-Japan Trilateral Relations and the East Asian Order
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nRyo Sahashi\, Associate Professor of International Relations\, \nInstitute for Advanced Studies on Asia\, The University of Tokyo \nModerated by: \nTakako Hikotani\, Gerald L. Curtis Associate Professor of Modern Japanese Politics and Foreign Policy\, \nDepartment of Political Science\, Columbia University \n  \nThe trilateral relationship among China\, Japan and the United States has generally been stable\, and it explained the regional order in East Asia since the 1970s. The trilateral relationship has been stabilized primarily by the stability of the US-China and US-Japan relations\, and secondly by the fact that American preponderance has been maintained and the commitment to Asia is certain\, with the remaining two parties formulating strategies on the basis of that balance of power. Although Japan-China relations have been repeatedly confronted and approached politically over time\, they have not shaken the trilateral relationship to that extent. Also\, in the area of regionalism\, the role of the United States has gradually become more important and contributed to the stability of order. \n  \nNow\, however\, the fundamental conditions of the trilateral relationship are changing because of a shift in the balance of power\, a loss of confidence on American diplomacy\, and the overwhelming importance of the Chinese economy. Relations between the United States and China are described as an era of competition\, or as an era of confrontation. How will a change in the relationship between Japan\, the United States and China affect the order of Asia? What does good Japan-China relations mean? Is the Japan-U.S. relationship still strong? How will the answers to these questions affect Canada and Canadian foreign policy? \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Sahashi specializes on international politics in East Asia. His recent book is In a Search for Coexistence: the United States and Two Chinas during the Cold War (Tokyo: Keiso\, 2015). In English\, he recently edited Looking for Leadership: The Dilemma of Political Leadership in Japan (Tokyo and New York: Japan Center for International Exchange\, 2015)\, and wrote on the impact of rising China on Asian order\, Japan’s security policy and Japan-Taiwan relations. Now he is writing his next book on US-China competition and leading two group studies on the alliance and order after the end of the Cold War. \n  \nConcurrently\, he serves as Research Fellow\, Japan Center for International Exchange. He frequently contributes to NHK\, Nikkei\, Asahi Shimbun\, Mainichi Shimbun\, Yomiuri Shimbun and other major media outlets. \nDr Sahashi has taught at Kanagawa University as professor until March\, 2019 and has been Visiting Associate Professor\, Walter H. Shorenstein Asia Pacific Research Center\, Stanford University and Shigeru Yoshida Chair\, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM). He joined University of Tokyo with tenure from April\, 2019\, and concurrently\, Associate Professor\, Future Vision Research Institute\, the University of Tokyo. \nHe also served as adjunct Senior Research Fellow at Sasakawa Peace Foundation\, Tokyo Foundation-German Marshall Fund of the United States Partnership Fellow\, and Guest Researcher for First Special Committee Research Office\, House of Councilors. He is the member of UK-Japan 21stCentury Committee. \nHe received his B.A. from International Christian University and his Ph.D. from the Graduate Schools for Law and Politics at the University of Tokyo. He also studied at Department of Political Science\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \n  \nNo registration Required \n
