the 35th JASID Annual Conference and the 14th JAHSS Annual Conference

General Information of the JAHSS & JASID Joint International Conference 2024

The 35th Annual Conference of the Japan Society for International Development (JASID) and the 14th Annual Conference of the Japan Association for Human Security Studies (JAHSS) will be co-organized for the first time in five years. The beginning of this year saw the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. The effects of climate change are felt in every corner of the world, and the risk of the recurrence of a pandemic remains. The number of forcibly displaced persons has exceeded 100 million globally. Lingering violence increases political tensions in the world. In this year, 2024, while we commemorate the 70th anniversary of Japan’s international cooperation, these challenges continue to threaten our security and raise concerns about achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Global uncertainty affects our lives, livelihoods, and dignity, and intensifies vulnerability of people who are left behind. How can we achieve a society where no one is left behind and the dignity of each individual is firmly protected? What role can international cooperation plays in strengthening this effort? This year’s joint conference serves as a valuable opportunity to stimulate lively discussions in both theoretical and practical perspectives at the intersection of development, which aims to contribute to peace and prosperity, and human security, which seeks to protect the security of each individual by addressing the factors that hinder sustainable development. We look forward to the active participation of members and citizens.
