Kasumigaseki CampusTeikyo University Recurrent College held “Russia-Ukraine war outcome and international order”

On October 26, 2023 (Thursday), Teikyo University Recurrent College held “The Future of the Russia-Ukraine War and International Order” at Teikyo University Kasumigaseki Campus.
This seminar was coordinated by Makoto Kurosaki, Professor Okinaga Research Institute of Teikyo University, and a discussion was held.
In Lecture 1, Mr. Yoshiki Kishida, Director of International Affairs at Jiji Press, Inc., gave a wealth of information on the effects of "Putin's war" and the effects of protracted wars, based on the current situation of the world at a turning point in history. I have explained this based on my experience. Furthermore, we analyzed the battle between democracy and authoritarianism, the state President Putin is aiming for, and the risks facing a divided world from a multifaceted journalist's perspective.
In lecture 2, Hirotaka Watanabe, Professor at our university's Faculty of Law, spoke about the international order moving toward a confrontational multipolar structure, the underlying differences in ideological values and views of international order between the United States, Europe, Russia, and China, and the setbacks of the European security system after the Cold War. We explained these factors from an academic perspective. We also considered the multilayered world order, such as the ideological and idealistic United States and the interdependent relationship between Europe and Russia, which seek strategic independence.
The discussion was moderated by Isao Hirota, an academic advisor at our university, and deepened the discussion on the Russia-Ukraine war and the future of the international order. Under the multipolar international order, there is no end in sight to wars, and competition for hegemony intensifies, leading to an era that is difficult to predict.Amid these circumstances, Japan's worldview will be questioned once again, and it will be necessary to correctly understand the diversity of international perceptions and remain calm in the face of crises. It has been shown that this will be addressed. This seminar was attended by 60 people, ranging from university students to the general public, and was a fruitful seminar that included a Q&A session.
