The re... International Symposium
The recent dynamics of successful social mobilization and collective action can be explained partly by the rapid expansion of the Internet, new communication tools and the role played by Al-Jazeera Arabic TV Channel. However, the Arab upheavals have deeper roots in each country’s political and historical specificities that have charted so far different trajectories and consequences for the regimes and protestors across the region.

This symposium attempts to examine the background and mechanisms of these sociopolitical changes, and the prospects and challenges ahead. The symposium will also focus on the dynamic relations between political groups and organizations, particularly between the Islamist forces and military establishments. Furthermore, we examine the pro-democracy semi-organized youth movements whose tactics and strategies proved most effective in ousting authoritarian regimes. We explore the regional and international relations of the Middle East, especially the Gulf countries, Israel, NATO members and the United States.

On the basis of informed analysis and insight by Professor Lisa Anderson, a renowned specialist on the politics of the Middle East and North Africa, and a presentation from Cyril Muller, the vice president of The World Bank, followed by a panel discussion with experts on the region, we hope to promote a better understanding of the current historical transition, politics and change in the Middle East.]]> http://www.ide.go.jp/English/Events/Apl/120130_apl.html 2012/01/30 15:00-16:30 Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization C23 Meeting Room APL (Ajiken Power Lunch) is a lunchtime workshop open to public, including IDE staffs, visiting research fellows, IDEAS students, outside researchers and graduate students.

Matthew Friedman, a United Nations international expert in human trafficking, will provide a comprehensive overview of the human trafficking problem throughout Asia – what it is, how it works and what is being done to address it. His presentation will focus on what governments and civil society are doing and how effective this work has been up until now. He will also address the importance of businesses playing a much more active role in fighting slavery by disabling its economic viability through innovative technology and unique, strategic projects that can deliver real change.

As a world leader in many important business sectors, Japan has the potential to play a leadership role in addressing this terrible global problem. One way of doing this is through voluntary supply chain audits to encourage food and product businesses to play a proactive role in addressing anti-slavery within the private sector. This and other remedies will be explored during Mr. Friedman’s presentation. ]]> http://www.ide.go.jp/English/Events/Apl/111215_apl.html 2011/12/15 15:30-17:00 Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization C23 Meeting Room APL (Ajiken Power Lunch) is a lunchtime workshop open to public, including IDE staffs, visiting research fellows, IDEAS students, outside researchers and graduate students.
