A Collaboration with Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs

The East Asia Institute, Korea (hereafter EAI) plans to organize its international conference jointly with Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, United States (hereafter CCFR) and CIDE, Mexico (hereafter CIDE) in Seoul, Korea, in August 2005. The international conference is entitled as "Living under U.S. Leadership: Comparative Study of Public's Perception on World Affairs in the United States, Mexico and South Korea." Because the joint survey on public perception of world affairs was successfully conducted last year in the three countries, the main purpose of this conference is to interpret and compare the public perception on world affairs by analyzing Global Views 2004 joint survey data of three countries.
