Second session of the Franco-German Observatory of the Indo-Pacific, co organized by Sciences Po-Ceri and the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA).  

 

A number of European countries have embraced the Indo-Pacific terminology, with, for example, France and Germany establishing foreign policy guidelines for the region. Our Franco-German Observatory invites key actors from the Indo-Pacific to present their vision of the region, how they conceive of it geo-strategically and the place of China, the US, and Europe within this framework. We look forward to debating questions of economic interdependence and independence, of trade and investment, and the expectations the countries of the Indo-Pacific might have towards the ‘West’ in general, and Europe, in particular.

The Franco-German Observatory invites every month a speaker from Indo-Pacific region to present the vision, or visions, that key actors in the region - from policymakers, military strategists to businesspeople - seek to promote.
