Session “Southeast Asia in a globalizing world: challenges and solutions”
On November 20-21, a discussion of the main political and socio-economic trends in Southeast Asia was held as part of the first international conference "Globalization in Contemporary Asia".
Session “Middle East”
Session “Middle East” focused on the difficult and urgent topic of global and regional actors’ interaction in resolving conflicts and crisis situations. The processes of globalization for the Middle East and the North Africa region are directly linked to overcoming of old conflicts and settling new ones, as well as resistance to the wide range of security threats. Since the destructive influence of unresolved conflicts spread far behind the national boundaries and borders of the region itself, resolution of these conflicts is seen as a matter of special concern and conscious interest of both countries of the region, their immediate neighbors and also the main global actors.
