When Disease Control is Entangled with Politics\u201d<\/p>\n Yu-Shan Wu, Academician, Academia Sinica<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Abstract:<\/p>\n COVID-19 has caused the most severe pandemic and infectious disease that the world has encountered since the Spanish flu in the early twentieth century. Given that \u201cno one is safe until everyone is safe,\u201d being able to control the pandemic would best serve the interests of all nations.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In theory, the pandemic should have promoted international cooperation and coordination. However, since the global outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020, what we have in fact witnessed is a series of ongoing international conflicts such as mutual recriminations over the origins of COVID-19, vaccine nationalism, vaccine diplomacy, and so on. International cooperation is being suppressed by conflicts, and this is closely related to the New Cold War which has existed in the current international order since before the outbreak of COVID-19. This New Cold War is rooted in the international power transition of the most powerful countries and the rise of right-wing populism caused by the economic crisis. It is deeply entrenched, and even a shared crisis such as COVID-19 is not enough to resolve these differences and brings about cooperation, instead, leading to a whirlpool of conflicts. Under such circumstances, it is pertinent and necessary to ask where Asia is heading.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [Part 2: Symposium] 11:00\uff5e12:00<\/p>\n \u201cInternational Relations in the Post-COVID Era \u2013Asia Viewed from Taiwan\u2019s Perspective\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Moderator\uff1a<\/p>\n Dr. Shing-Ching Shyu, President, Chinese Culture University<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Panelists\uff1a<\/p>\n Yasuhiro Matsuda, (Japan) Professor, Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, the University of Tokyo<\/p>\n Ming Lee, Professor at the Department of Diplomacy in National Cheng-Chi University<\/p>\n Kevin Villanueva, (Philippines) Assistant Professor, University of The Philippines\/Senior Fellow, National Chung-Hsing University<\/p>\n Hsu, Kristy Tsun Tzu, Associate Research Fellow and Director, The Taiwan ASEAN Studies Center<\/p>\n Yu-Shan Wu, Academician, Academia Sinica.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [Part 3: AFC Best Papers and Taiwan Best Papers Presentation] 13:00\uff5e16: 20<\/p>\n 13:00\uff5e13:10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Best Paper Award Presentation Ceremony<\/p>\n 13:10\uff5e16:20\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Parallel Sessions of Best Paper presentations<\/p>\n List of 20 AFC#6A Best Papers<\/a><\/p>\n List of 5 Taiwan Special Best Papers<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [Closing Ceremony] 16:20\uff5e16:30<\/p>\n Closing Remarks\uff1aJunko Imanishi, Asia Future Conference Organizing Committee Chair<\/p>\n Invitation to the Asia Future Conference to be held at Taipei in August 2022<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u203bNo registration required for the Best Paper presentation sessions in the afternoon.<\/p>\n Please join from the following link after 12:30pm on Thursday, August 26, 2021.<\/p>\n Link to Best Presentation Sessions [Part 3]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more program details, please check:<\/p>\n E_AFC Preconference_Program<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inquiries: AFC Secretariat afc@aisf.or.jp<\/p>\n Please contact the above email address for technical support as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.aisf.or.jp\/sgra\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/07\/6thAFC_PreConference_Poster_light-212x300.png\")
