DESCRIPTION:China’s re-emergence and its assertive policies in the South
  China Sea over the past decades have led to the belief that Southeast Asi
 a has no choice but to become part of China’s zone of influence. However
 \, Southeast Asia has many choices. This lecture will look at the longer h
 istory of Southeast Asia and suggest the many options that ASEAN will have
  in the coming decades.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Kishore Mahbubani (National 
 University of Singapore)

SUMMARY:The Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands Dispute: A MacGuffin? - Todd Hall (Univ
 ersity of Oxford)

DESCRIPTION:Traditional approaches to territorial conflicts would suggest 
 that the value of a disputed territory—be it strategic\, economic\, reli
 gious\, or historical—drives conflict. Standard explanations of the Senk
 aku/Diaoyu Islands dispute often fit this trope\, pointing to the military
  or economic benefits possessing the islands would confer upon the claiman
 t states.  This presentation takes a different view\, arguing that it is n
 ot the value of the islands that drives the conflict\, but rather the role
  of the islands as a tangible object of conflict that generates their valu
 e.  Drawing upon the concept of the MacGuffin—a plot device in movies th
 at serves to produce dramatic conflict between protagonists—this talk wi
 ll examine the ways in which the Senkaku/Diaoyu island dispute has become 
 the centre of a dangerous contest between Japan and the People’s Republi
 c of China. \nSpeakers:\nTodd Hall (University of Oxford)
