Policy Outreach
Events in Asia-whether it is an earthquake or an economic crisis-have repercussions around the globe. In order to foster a greater awareness of these issues, the Stanley Foundation provides a forum for both the policy community and larger public to identify and learn about critical Asian topics. Contact Michael Schiffer for more information.
In order to create region-wide solutions for the economic, political, and security dilemmas that plague Asia, key players must cooperate to share knowledge and viewpoints.
