Topics
IIRAS has conducted research concerning peace and sustainable development in the world. We have focused on problems such as terrorism, poverty, environmental degradation, natural disasters, socio-economic cleavages, religious-ethnic conflicts, and regional integration/disintegration, that are all transnational in nature. How should we deal with these cross-border issues? IIRAS has promoted an integrative approach of International Relations and Area Studies for the better understanding of these complicated issues we are facing in the globalizing 21st Century.
