| Think of the future of Japan and
Europe International Symposium |
| "Europe on its way to unity: From Richard-Coudenhove-Kalergi's Pan-European vision to the Treaty of Athens" |
|
Reviewing the life of Count
Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, author of@"Pan-Europa", and
the pan-European thinking that he advocated, this symposium also
considered the future relationship between Japan and an expanding
European Union. 2003 is the 80th anniversary of Count Coudenhove-Kalergi's
publication of "Pan-Europa" in Vienna. 2004 will set new
challenges for the EU with the addition of ten new member nations.
Taking a fresh look at the "greater Europe" thinking of
Count Coudenhove-Kalergi, whose mother Countess Mitsuko was Japanese
and who had a deep relationship with Japan, the symposium also address
the significance of EU expansion, the challenges awaiting the EU
in future and the future relationship between Japan and the EU. |
