This research project draws on East Asian medical insights for treating longstanding regional conflicts as political illness. In so doing, it seeks to go beyond conventional state-centric paradigms in the study of international relations that perpetuate such conflicts in the first place. In AY2021, project members (including the Principal Investigator) published three articles with Third World Quarterly (Routledge) as part of its forthcoming special issue on 'Political Healing in East Asian International Relations'.
