It will focus in particular on the importance and evolution of U.S. alliances in Asia \u2013 especially with Japan and South Korea \u2013&nbsp;and in Europe through NATO. The discussion will include changes in alliance dynamics, the growing prominence of right-wing politics in Asia, and the widening distance in relations with Europe, all of which are affecting the U.S. position in the international system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Yoichiro Sato has an academic background in law and political science: he earned a BA (Law) from Keio University, an MA (International Studies) from the University of South Carolina, and a PhD (Political Science) from the University of Hawaii. He has previously taught, among others, at the U.S. Department of Defense\u2019s Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies and at Auckland University in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Date:<\/strong> 9 March 2026<br><strong>Time:<\/strong> 12:30<br><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Aula 2, Vistula University<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We warmly invite you to a guest lecture by Prof. Yoichiro Sato from Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, dedicated to contemporary challenges in U.S. foreign policy and changes in alliance management in Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":210817,"parent":0,"template":"","news-category":[128],"class_list":["post-210822","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-events"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
