The 13th Yamakawa Kenjiro Memorial Lecture: Professor Alexandre Debs (Yale University) on the causes of war and nuclear proliferation (Dec. 18-19) We are delighted to announce two talks as the 13th Yamakawa Kenjiro Memorial Lecture. Our guest speaker is Professor Alexandre Debs from the Political Science Department at Yale Professor Debs specializes in the causes of war, nuclear proliferation, and democratization. Please send your inquiries to Nobuhiro Hiwatari, <hiwatari[at]iss.u-tokyo.ac.jp> at the institute of Social Sciences, University of Tokyo 1. TALK 1 @ Komaba Title: “The Strategic Tensions of the July Crisis” Date: Tuesday, December 18th. 17:00-19:00 Venue: University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus, Collaboration Room 3 (4th floor), Building 18 Abstract: Accounts of the First World War struggle to explain why leaders were keen to enter into the conflict. Mutual optimism indeed does not appear to stand as a rationalist explanation for war. If one country is optimistic, then its enemy should temper its own optimism; both countries cannot simultaneously believe that they will prevail. This paper presents a formal model to resolve these tensions. Leaders care about how they fight a war. A country's aggressiveness bolsters its enemy's claim that it is a victim in the conflict, making its own aggressiveness more attractive. A country's aggressiveness may also reinforce the belief that the war will be short, and a costly stalemate can be avoided. Thus, the belligerents' optimism is not only jointly possible, it is mutually reinforcing. This perspective captures key dimensions of the July Crisis and sheds new light on the causes of the war. 2. TALK 2 @ Hongo Title: “The Strategic Causes of Nuclear Proliferation: Northeast Asia in Comparative Perspective” (This talk is co-sponsored by the Securities Studies Unit (PARI), and the Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP) Date: Wednesday, December 19th. 12:45-14:15 Venue: University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus, SMBC Academia Hall, International Academic Research Building. 4F. Registration: https://park-ssl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pari/app/passy4.cgi?eventid=ssu181219 Abstract: This presentation introduces a strategic framework to understand the causes of proliferation, and the effectiveness of counterproliferation tools, placing Northeast Asia in comparative perspective. Acquiring nuclear weapons takes time and effort. Before a nuclear-weapons program comes to fruition, adversaries and allies may offer threats and assurances to prevent proliferation. The stronger is a potential proliferator, the more likely it is to succeed in its attempt to acquire nuclear weapons. Threats are most effective against weak potential proliferators, and assurances are most expedient when offered to strong potential proliferators. In Northeast Asia, threats of preventive war have been ineffective in preventing North Korea from acquiring nuclear weapons, given its ability to inflict severe damage on Seoul. Assurances have been crucial in getting South Korea and Japan to forgo nuclear weapons. Looking ahead, a coercive approach toward North Korea is unlikely to be effective, and questions about assurances offered to South Korea and Japan risk spurring their proliferation. 3.

3.イベント内容
2015年、新しい開発目標として「持続可能な開発のための2030アジェンダ」が成立し、現在、掲げられた目標達成に向けた議論が活発に行われています。そして、2030アジェンダが掲げる持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）達成のためには、現状の取り組み（business-as-usual）だけでは不十分であり、革新的な取り組みやグローバル・フレームワークの見直しが必要とされています。
このような中、JICAは米国ブルッキングス研究所との共同研究を実施し、SDGs達成には革新的な視点や先駆的なアプローチをとることが重要という考えの下、（1）さまざまなアクターが従来の取り組みをどう変化させるべきか、（2）先駆的なアプローチが取られている分野における事例について考察を行いました。本研究の成果は書籍として取りまとめられ、今後の援助潮流への新たな視点と論点を提供し、学術的かつ政策への示唆に富んだ内容となっています。
この度、JICA研究所は共同研究の集大成となる本書籍『Summits to Solutions』の発刊を記念し、SDGsの達成に向けて世界が取るべき方向性を議論するセミナーを実施します。本セミナーは、パネリストおよび参加者の皆さまと共に、SDGs達成に向けた革新的なアイデアやさまざまな取り組みについて議論することを目的としています。そして、パネリストには、SDGsの策定に助言を行うなど深く関与し本書籍の編者も務めたホミ・カラス米国ブルッキングス研究所世界経済開発局長のほか、エリザベス・シドロポロス南アフリカ国際問題研究所長を招へいし、SDGs達成に向けた世界の動向や、これから必要とされる取り組みについて発表します。
さらに、本セミナーでは、公的セクターでの取り組みにとどまらず、ビジネス界における動向、取り組み事例についてもご紹介できるよう、関正雄経団連企業行動・CSR委員会企業行動憲章タスクフォース座長にもご登壇いただきます。実際の日本企業の動向（事例）、経団連としての取り組みについてご説明いただき、経団連が目指す未来社会「Society 5.0」などについてご発表いただきます。
2030年までに達成すべきとして定められた目標の現状、その達成のために世界はどのように変わる必要があるか、ビジネスを通した貢献とは何か、本セミナーが、開発実務者、研究者、政策担当者、NGO、国際開発を専攻する学生の皆さまをはじめとする多くの方々との積極的な意見交換の場となることを期待します。
