Organized Crime and Geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific: Toward a Transnational Crisis?

The Fondation pour la recherche stratégique (FRS) and the Center for International Studies (CERI) of Sciences Po are jointly hosting a public conference, entitled “Organized Crime and Geopolitics in the Indo- Pacific: Toward a Transnational Crisis?”. Bringing together experts, policymakers, and stakeholders, the event aims to deepen our understanding of the complexities surrounding transnational organized crime (TOC) and illicit networks in the region, while fostering cooperation and dialogue among like-minded partners.

This one-day event marks the 4th international conference organized under the Observatory of Multilateralism in the Indo-Pacific, an initiative launched by the French Ministry of Armed Forces in 2023. FRS leads this multi-year research program in cooperation with four prominent think tanks and universities: Institut Montaigne, the European Council of Foreign Relations (ECFR), Sciences Po, and the National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations (Inalco).

The conference will be in English only (without interpretation) and held under the Chatham House rule.
