The East Asia Institute (EAI), with the support of the Korea Foundation, is conducting collaborative research with the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia (IASA) at the University of Tokyo, Japan. The object of this research is to explore new ways for ROK-Japan partnerships that can effectively address the multifaceted challenges emanating from the great power rivalry. On July 23, EAI hosted a workshop where scholars from Korea and Japan participating in the research project presented their interim findings. The participants engaged in discussions on the trends in competition and cooperation between major countries in areas such as security, economy, high technology, and health. They also suggested ways for Korea and Japan to strengthen bilateral cooperation and contribute to peace and prosperity in the region.
