Stanford University’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) is a key institution for interdisciplinary research and policy dialogue focused on contemporary Asia. The center aims to address critical challenges in the region and enhance understanding of Asian affairs through education, publications, and international collaborations.

APARC engages with U.S. and Asian decision-makers by providing policy-relevant research findings. Recent publications from its scholars include works on America’s trade policy in the Asia-Pacific, China’s rise as a great power, and the dynamics of U.S.-Southeast Asia relations.

In a notable recent event, politician and diplomat Rahm Emanuel participated in an APARC briefing, discussing the current political climate in America and its implications for U.S. partnerships in the Indo-Pacific, drawing lessons from Japan’s experiences. This dialogue highlights the center’s commitment to bridging research with practical policy applications.
