Japan has committed comprehensive security policy by using non-military and much economic resources such as ODA and active trade. Has it enhanced security of Japan and democratization of Asia, a critical factor for peace and stability of Asia? The seminar will scrutinize Japan's economic diplomacy and its effect on the cases concerning China and North Korea, as well as Taiwan as a counter-example to 'China model'.
