Event description

The PIPSA executive is delighted to announce an in-person conference running again for the first time since the pandemic, providing the opportunity for scholars, policy makers and all other interested parties to share knowledge and perspectives on a range of important issues facing the region. We want the conference to be broad and inclusive, welcoming of a diverse range of topics, approaches and methods. PIPSA is suitable not only for political scientists and international relations specialists, but also Pacific historians, geographers, economists, anthropologists and those interested in a wide range of security, developmental and political issues.
