ASIA-PACIFIC POLICY PAPERS SERIES

The flagship of the Reischauer Center’s various monograph series, the Asia-Pacific Policy Papers strive to contribute actively to public-policy debate in the nation’s capital. These monographs represent the best analytical work of scholars and policy practitioners associated with the Reischauer Center. Past monographs have focused on subjects such as assessments of Japanese economic reform, energy policy in Asia, the Korean nuclear crisis, and Northeast Asian relationships with the Middle East.

Electronic versions of monographs in this series are made available online, if possible, and physical copies may be available at the Reischauer Center.
