The Japan Foundation, New Delhi invites you to our upcoming lecture event – India and Japan: Potential to Transform the Asian Security Order.

The India-Japan bilateral relationship has achieved significant political currency in the past decade. However the relationship’s potential to transform the Asian Security Order had been realised only recently when Prime Minister Modi was elected in India as was Prime Minister Shinzo Abe elected in Japan. Asia features the simultaneous rise of economic and political powers with civilisational histories. In this ‘Asian Century’ territorial and boundary disputes prosper in the maritime domain in comparison to the continental Westphalian geopolitics of the ‘Atlantic Century’. Power and order in Asia since antiquity has been organised under China’s Middle Kingdom, by Imperial Japan’s nascent pronunciation of a ‘Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere’ and under U.S. ‘hub and spoke’ alliance system in the region.
