| Topic: |
China-Japan Economics and Politics and their Importance to Australia, The Region and Beyond |
| Speaker: |
Professor Peter Drysdale |
| Outline: |
Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda’s recent 4 day visit to China in December 2007 has been described as “important” and “of great significance in improving China-Japan relations.” In the period from 2001 – 2006, China refused high-level contact with Japan during the premiership of Junichiro Koizumi.
With Japan and China currently ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for Australian exports - what does this warming of political relations mean for Australia, the Region and beyond?
Professor Peter Drysdale is Emeritus Professor of Economics and Visiting Fellow in Policy and Governance in The Crawford School of Economics and Government at the ANU. Until 2002 he was Executive Director of the Australia-Japan Research Centre. His main areas of expertise are international trade and economic policy; Australia's economic relations with East Asia and the Pacific; the East Asian and Japanese economy and economic policy. Professor Drysdale will discuss how political events, specifically cooperation and conflicts, affect the economic relationship and vice versa.
