Details

KAS-CICP Public Lecture Series is a cooperation project between Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Cambodia and the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace (CICP), the oldest foreign policy think-tank in Cambodia and one of our long-term partners. It aspires to serve as an open-debate platform, through which the diplomatic community, policymakers, and interested stakeholders in Cambodia are able to analyze and debate the latest trends, challenges, and issues in international politics that matter for Cambodia's diplomacy and regional peace and stability at large

In this first session of the public lecture series, we will present you "China's Soft Power in Southeast Asia: Engagement and Success in Selected ASEAN Countries". This is a sharing-session of the preliminary findings from the latest study conducted by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung's country office in Thailand.
