Asian Architecture Conference @ CSIS
The Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies and the Scholl Chair in International Business are pleased to host the third annual Asian Architecture Conference @ CSIS.
The conference is being organized ahead of the East Asia Summit (EAS) and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forums in November. CSIS will bring together key thought leaders, business executives, and policymakers from the United States and Asia for a discussion on some of the important issues surrounding the EAS and APEC, including accommodating the ambitions of major powers in Asia, binding all regional states in a common set of rules, and building trust and transparency in key areas such as security, finance, and trade.
This conference is made possible with support from the Government of Japan and the National Center for APEC.
