Analysis on Current Affairs in Asia

Outline

Our project involves analysing the political, economic, and social developments that occurred in the countries and regions of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia in 2026. The outcome of the project will be published in the Japanese edition of Yearbook of Asian Affairs, a publication that compiles the latest analytical reports on Asian countries and regions. Field research will be conducted for urgent themes, and the findings will be disseminated promptly through the e-books, the "IDE Square," and seminars, and other channels.
