APSec2015 - The Asia-Pacific Conference on Security and International Relations

IAFOR invites you to join us in Japan for APSec2015, from October 15-17, in the vibrant city of Kobe. Present and discuss the latest research surrounding Asia-Pacific Security and International Relations, centered around the conference theme "Power". Held at the Art Center of Kobe, join us as we discuss this year's conference theme along with APSec Featured Speakers Prof. Craig Mark (Kwansei University), Conference Co-chairs Professors Joel R. Campbell, Dr. Thomas French and more! Submit and abstract: http://iafor.org/cfp Enquiries: apsec@iafor.org Web address: http://iafor.org/conferences/apsec2015/ ***APSec2015 Conference Theme: Power From classical thinkers' works such as Aristotle's Politka or Machiavelli's Il Principe through to the seismic geo-political events over the last century, power as both a conception and commodity, has continually challenged the minds of security and international relations theorists. The dynamics of power and its associations with ideology, wealth and status now shape the contemporary world more visibly than ever as we enter into a time of global uncertainty. The uncertainties with respect to this power dynamic are a profound research challenge to all fields of the security and international relations discipline. As the conference theme of our inaugural Asia Pacific Conference on Security and International Relations, we together seek to offer some explanation of its magnetism and its mechanisms. Our own Asia-Pacific region is fast becoming the core center of influence and the driving force and engine room of global progress. This requires an openness to engage in the strategic conversation of how the dynamics of power can be successfully managed, how Asia-Pacific nations can cooperate in areas of common interest, and how the differences that inevitably arise in the power relationship between major states can be resolved respectfully and equitably. We expect the theme of power to excite a number of stimulating research paths, and look forward to their outcomes as we gather in Kobe in October 2015. We look forward to seeing you at APSec2015!

BANGKOK is the capital and the most populous city of Thailand. It traces its roots to a small trading post during the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 15th century, which eventually grew in size and became the site of two capital cities: Thonburi in 1768 and Rattanakosin in 1782. Bangkok was at the heart of Siam's (as Thailand used to be known) modernization during the later 19th century, as the country faced pressures from the West. The city grew rapidly during the 1960s through the 1980s and now exerts a significant impact among Thailand's politics, economy, education, media and modern society. Over 14 million people live within the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. The Asian investment boom in the 1980s and 1990s led many multinational corporations to locate their regional headquarters in Bangkok. The city is now a major regional force in finance and business. It is an international hub for transport and health care, and is emerging as a regional center for the arts, fashion and entertainment. The city is known for its vibrant street life and cultural landmarks. The historic Grand Palace and Buddhist temples including Wat Arun and Wat Pho stand in contrast with other tourist attractions such as the nightlife scenes of Khaosan Road and Patpong. Bangkok is among the world's top tourist destinations. It is named the most visited city in MasterCard's Global Destination Cities Index, and was named "World's Best City" for four consecutive years by Travel + Leisure magazine.
