Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Study Center
JBA also collaborates with Columbia University’s APEC Study Center (ASC). The ASC promotes collaboration between institutions of higher education in the United States and throughout the Asia Pacific on policy research for the region, as well as the establishment of an emerging region-wide network of personal and institutional relationships for all member economies through exchanges, joint research, conferences and other contacts.
The ASC was established in 1994 at the request of the U.S. Department of State in response to the APEC Leaders' Education Initiative. This Initiative was introduced by President Clinton and endorsed by the leaders of the other APEC member nations at their historic meetings on Blake Island and in Seattle in November 1993.
There are 21 members: Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, The Republic of the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, United States of America, and Viet Nam. The ASC is co-directed by Professors Merit E. Janow and Hugh Patrick; our liaison is Senior Program Officer Andy Wanning.
