| Summary: | from Japan, Korea, China and Russia for a three day meeting at International Christian University (ICU). The participants will discuss the question, “What is the nature of the ‘good ’ society in Northeast Asia in the 21st century in the context of the issues facing the region at the present time? ” The participants in the meeting will include indigenous people from the region, such as Ainu, Evenks and Buryats. At the moment there is no established forum where people from this region can regularly gather to discuss the issues that affect the region as a whole. Thus, issues such as the Japanese children left behind in China at the end of WWII (one of whom recently surfaced in Russia), the abductions of Japanese by North Koreans a generation ago, the nuclear activities of North Korea currently, the future of the Korean Penninsula in general, the Japanese apology issue, the unification of China (or not), the relatively silent struggle going on over in which direction pipelines carrying Siberian energy resources should go (towards the Sea of Japan or towards Daqing) and, of course, the fate of the Northern Territories receive no regular attention by all the stakeholders involved. This BDA Project meeting will provide an opportunity for some of the future leaders in the region to have an opportunity to discuss, compare and contrast and bring into productive relationship the basic values of the various peoples of the region in the context of the issues currently facing the region. |
