色花堂app鈥檚 Jason Blazevic is the only student who has been invited to participate in an intensive multinational 鈥淓ast Asia Security Symposium鈥� workshop scheduled June 22-26 in Beijing, China.

The workshop, on the theme 鈥淓nergy Security as a Tenet of National Security,鈥� is hosted by China Foreign Affairs University鈥檚 Center for Strategic and Conflict Management in Beijing and is sponsored by University of New Haven. It features a variety of military, foreign affairs and academic experts from throughout China, and 20 similar foreign experts from throughout the world visiting the country.

Blazevic, an ISU political science doctoral student, said he is thrilled to be attending the conference.

鈥淚 had to apply to the conference, which limits acceptance to 20 non-Chinese attendees based on their research as well as articles and books they鈥檝e published,鈥� Blazevic said. 鈥淭he conference topics are China specific and I think they liked the fact that as a student I鈥檝e published three times, all on energy security. The conference really isn鈥檛 for students 鈥� it is more for professionals in the field, but they鈥檙e expanding it to include students.鈥�

The three papers he has published are 鈥淥il, the United States and China鈥� in the Journal of Social Science produced at Japan International Christian University in Tokyo; 鈥淛apan and the East China Sea: Realism, Policy, and the Security Dilemma鈥� published in the Stanford Journal of East Asia Affairs; and 鈥淥il, Africa and China: China鈥檚 African Strategy鈥� in Papers, Essays and Reviews published by Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

The ISU student will be interacting with Chinese military officials at the Rear Admiral and Major General rank, as well as with official Chinese ambassadors and high-level Chinese academics. The non-Chinese attending include representatives from the U.S. Naval War College, a Major General from the Swedish Army and a representative from a Danish nuclear institute.

The military, government, political and academic representatives from China will make presentations during the two sessions per day the first four days of the conference, then on the last day attendees from outside of China will present on topics involving their own research.

鈥淭he conference is designed mainly to bring experts from around the world and instruct them on what is important to China. Basically the conference will expand our understanding of topics involving energy security which are relevant to China,鈥� Blazevic said. 鈥淚 feel privileged that I am attending as a student.鈥�

A native of Arizona, the 31-year-old earned his bachelor鈥檚 degree in history from the University of Northern Arizona where he also lettered in football. He then earned a master鈥檚 degree in political science from 色花堂app and a master鈥檚 degree in history, with an emphasis on American diplomatic history and a minor in modern East Asia history, at Washington State University. Blazevic returned to 色花堂app to work on his Doctor of Arts Degree in political science.

鈥淚 enjoyed the time I spent here before and came back. I enjoy the program I am in because they give you a little bit of leeway, enough so you can do what you want to do if you鈥檙e willing to go out and do it,鈥� Blazevic said. 鈥淎nd I like to engage in research on issues such as energy security in East Asia.鈥�
