Gulf-Asia Relations within the Changing Global Order
A clear shift in the global economic relations has been taking place over the last decade, challenging the prevailing global order. A new geo-economic space is materializing with the phenomenal rise of the Asia-Pacific and Gulf regions, which will be one of the main hallmarks of this century, heralding a fundamental structural change in the international system, signalling the beginning of yet another so-called New World Order, and re-orienting the contours of Gulf–Asia relations. In what has been dubbed the ‘Asian Century’, the Gulf states began to re-orient their strategies with a “Look East” or “pivot to Asia” policy while Asian countries have adopted a “Look West” policy.
Hence Gulf-Asia relations are becoming increasingly bi-directional, multi-faceted, and firmly rooted. During the past two decades, an intricate web of diplomatic and economic ties and military-to-military contacts has developed between the Gulf and Asia-Pacific countries. There is every indication that Gulf-Asia relations are a structural feature of the global system whose importance to partners and to others with interests in these regions will only increase.
The webinar will discuss, analyse and dissect Gulf-Asia relations and will try to answer the questions of: Whether this global economic shift will continue and so lead to political and security re-alignment? How will the combination of current crises like the global pandemic (Covid-19), the fall in oil prices and the global economic downturn affect the trajectory of Gulf-Asia relations? What will be the implications of US–China competition as a new “cold war” and what is the future outlook for Gulf–Asia relations?
Please join us for this online public talk on “Gulf-Asia Relations within the Changing Global Order” organised by the Chair of the State of Qatar in Islamic Area Studies at Waseda University in collaboration with Qatar University on 31st May 2021 (from 10:10-11: 40 am Qatar time, 4:10-5:40 pm Japan time). All are welcome to participate.
