Fall 2003 Jefferson Fellowships
October 5, 2003 - November 1, 2003
The Jefferson Fellowships, founded by the East-West Center in 1967, promote better public understanding of the United States and Asia and Pacific through a program of dialogue, study and travel for mid- and senior-level print and broadcast journalists. The Jefferson Fellowships are supported by a grant from The Freeman Foundation.
During seminars and field study the journalists selected from the United States and Asia Pacific, learn from each other, as well as from scholars, business and labor leaders, government policy-makers, political and civic leaders, lobbyists and public interest groups, social activists, cultural analysts, media experts and others whom they meet and interview during the course of the program.
The program begins at the East-West Center with a week of lectures and discussions on key regional issues led by East-West Center, University of Hawai‘i and other experts from the Honolulu community. The Fellows then undertake field study in Asia and the United States mainland to further their understanding of the issues. More information>>>

10/7-8: The U.S. Military in Asia project will hold its second workshop at the EWC Washington office. This workshop is designed to focus on the National and Local Dyanamics of the U.S. Military presence in three Asian societies: Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Philippines. Scholars from these countries will convene to explore contemporary attitudes within these three societies on the U.S. military presence in the region, and to consider the impact of recent U.S. strategic planning on regional security dialogues in the Asia Pacific. This project, with its emphasis on citizen activism surrounding the U.S. bases, will ultimately produce policy recommendations for national decision makers in the U.S. as well as in Japan, the ROK and the Philippines. This workshop will conclude with a focused discussion on the potential policy concerns within the region, and on the upcoming review of U.S. forces in Asia.
