International Forum on War History
The NIDS International Forum on War History, first held in 2002, reconsiders military history by comparing it bilaterally or multilaterally with other nations' military histories, providing a multifaceted viewpoint for an area of study which traditionally tends to be analyzed from a one-sided point of view. The forum started in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the National institute for Defense Studies, with an intention of deepening mutual understanding among the countries concerned and contributing to the promotion of trust among them.
22nd International Forum on War history
22nd Forum (2024)
“The Role of Military Cooperation in Times of Crisis”
In recent years, military cooperation between states/non-state actors without a treaty basis has played an important role in international politics. This aspect of military cooperation developed especially in the 20th century with the globalization of conflicts and the intensification of great power competition. From these perspectives, 22nd Forum will focus on military cooperation in the 20th century, mainly from the 1930s to the 1950s.
