On November 30, 2024, the Institute for Global Governance Research (GGR) held the 14th Zoom meeting as part of the GGR Intensive Seminars, “Countering Disinformation and Protecting Democracy.” The participants of the GGR intensive seminars are currently working on papers on strategies to combat dis(mis)information based on the takeaways from the seminars. During this meeting, the Okinawa Group and the Japan-Korea Group presented their drafts outlining their analysis of disinformation and their approaches to tackling it, and the participants discussed the drafts to refine. In addition, it was decided that future sessions will include a roundtable reading of specialized books to deepen understanding of disinformation and narratives. GGR plans to continue holding regular meetings to discuss papers on disinformation.
