Congratulations!

We are much pleased to receive an announcement that Professor TAKIKAWA Hirohide of Osaka City University will be awarded the IVR Young Scholars’ Prize 2005 for a paper entitled "Can We Justify the Welfare State in an Age of Globalization?: Toward Complex Borders." IVR Japan Section would like to extend our warm congratulations to our colleague. Japan Associa-tion of Legal Philosophy (JALP), which is now launching a new award encouraging younger scholars, sincerely celebrates Professor TAKIGAWA’s honorable reception of the prize.

Professor TAKIKAWA’s prize lecture will be delivered at 6 p.m., 29 May 2005, at a special plenary session of the IVR 2005 World Congress in Granada, Spain.
