L’Université Laval propose un projet de recherche en Thaïlande en collaboration avec l’Université Thammasat. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) analyser le développement du soft-power des États de la région dans le cyberespace; 2) mobiliser le soft power dans l’expression des conflits géopolitiques en Asie du Sud-Est; 3) identifier les opportunités que cette situation représente pour le Canada, sa population, sa diplomatie et ses entreprises. Ce projet s’appuie sur un important volet de recherche, autour duquel viennent se greffer des activités de formation et de diffusion des connaissances. Il s’articule autour de trois axes principaux : la représentation des conflits géopolitiques en mer de Chine dans le cyberespace, l’expressions du soft-power en ligne des pays du Sud-Est asiatique et la perception des Canadiens sur des informations circulant dans et sur le cyberespace asiatique. Ce projet s'aligne avec 4 des 5 objectifs de la Stratégie du Canada pour l'Indo-Pacifique: objectif 1: promouvoir la paix, la résilience et la sécurité; objectif 2: accroître les échanges commerciaux et les investissements et renforcer la résilience des chaînes d’approvisionnement; objectif 3: investir dans les gens et tisser des liens entre eux et objectif 5 : le Canada, un partenaire actif et engagé dans l’Indo-Pacifique.
