Engaging Civil Society in Track II Diplomacy
Between 2014 and 2021, I was invited to participate in various formal and informal meetings organized by Japanese and Russian officials, diplomats, security advisors, and civil society representatives. My working paper (co-authored with Vladimir Nelidov) has been distributed as background material for the Japan-Russia dialogue in 2019 attended by senior government officials, civil society representatives, and experts.
In partnership with the Russian International Affairs Council, I have organized discussion seminars with Ambassador Alexander Panov (the former Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and former Russian Ambassador to Japan), who has also published a commentary on my op-ed on the future of Japanese-Russian relations in 2014.
