In collaboration with Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Xiamen University, Dr Ron Po, representing the LSE, co-organised an international maritime conference entitled “Charting Maritime East Asia: State-Building, Networks, and Environment,” held at Hong Kong PolyU on 2–3 May.
The conference brought together 20 presenters and over 30 additional participants from Beijing, Taipei, Macau, Hong Kong, Hanoi, Leuven, Tokyo, Oxford, Sendai, Paris, and Princeton to discuss evolving ideas and conceptions of maritime (East) Asia. We thank our co-organisers in Hong Kong and Xiamen for making this a successful event, and look forward to further collaborations in the near future.
