J. PEMPEL March 2016 Our Mission The National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP) was founded in 1974 by Professor Hans J. Morgenthau and others. It is a nonprofit policy organization dedicated to the resolution of conflicts that threaten U.S. interests. Toward that end, the NCAFP identifies, articulates, and helps advance American foreign policy interests from a nonpartisan perspective within the framework of political realism. American foreign policy interests include: • Preserving and strengthening national security; •Supporting the values and the practice of political, religious, and cultural pluralism; • Advancing human rights; • Addressing non-traditional security challenges such as terrorism, cyber security and climate change; • Curbing the proliferation of nuclear and other unconventional weapons; and • Promoting an open and global economy. The NCAFP fulfills its mission through Track I½ and Track II diplomacy. These closed-door and off-the-record conferences provide opportunities for senior U.S. and foreign officials, subject experts, and scholars to engage in discussions designed to defuse conflict, build confidence, and resolve problems. Believing that an informed public is vital to a democratic society, the National Committee offers educational programs and issues a variety of publications that address security challenges facing the United States.

  • Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America
    Issue No. 1, Winter 2016 Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America Security and Free Enterprise at Home and Abroad By AEI President Arthur Brooks AEI Chairman Tully Friedman, my colleagues Michael Auslin and Daniel Blumenthal, and I recently returned from a trip to Singapore and Tokyo. We met with a variety of government and business leaders and exchanged ideas about free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and security. We also had the honor of meeting with the prime minister of Singapore and the prime minister of Japan. Japan is not only one of America’s most important allies but also the oldest democracy in Asia. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining stability in the region, particularly in the face of Chinese aggrandizement. Japan’s security is of prime importance to the United States, and American leadership in the region is crucial. Regrettably, despite an increasingly brazen China and a volatile North Korea, we are not hearing much from today’s presidential candidates about how to maintain regional stability. A major new AEI report tackles these issues head-on, along with a revanchist Russia and the ruthless Islamic State. Titled Why American Leader- ship Still Matters and developed through a bipartisan effort led by former Sens. Jon Kyl and Joseph Lieberman, the report explains why the world needs more—not less—leadership from the United States. See page 3 for more on this report. While in Singapore, I had the opportunity to speak with students at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. I focused on the message that capitalism is the best way to help the poorest among us.

There are four major professional dimensions: teaching, doing my own research, organizing and managing multischolar research projects, and institution-building. My focus here is on my research and institution-building activities, which naturally have always been intertwined. *I mention by name only a few of my many colleagues. Happily, they are among many others who became my good personal friends. That has been one benefit of being engaged with others in projects and the resultant books. Except by way of context before my career began, I say little of my personal life. And, of course, I do not write about my family, other than to say that they have encouraged and supported me and my career.

  • Conference Programme
    28/10/10 CF PREVIEW PROGRAMME JAPAN: INCREASING ITS GLOBAL ROLE? Monday 1 – Thursday 4 November 2010 1063rd WILTON PARK CONFERENCE in co-operation with The Foreign and Commonwealth Office The Japan Foundation The Great-Britain Sasakawa Foundation Key themes: How are Japan’s international priorities developing after a year under the DPJ? Faced with internal difficulties linked to its economic sustainability, Japan can either try to insulate itself from external challenges and engage with the outside world only on its own terms, or it can become more outward looking but will then need to confront a series of difficult choices linked to dramatic power shifts in Asia. Does Japan want to engage or contain China? Does it want to cling to or break from the US? Does it want to open up its economy and society to foreign investment and immigration? How does Japan see its role and responsibilities in the international community? How best can Japan contribute to shared challenges such as global economic security, climate change, peacekeeping, development, and reform of international institutions? Where can Western democracies and regional actors gain value in working more closely with Japan, and what are the best strategies for achieving greater cooperation for mutual benefit? Conference objectives: The discussion on Japan’s global role will provide an early opportunity for the new British Government, as well as policy makers from Europe and the wider world, to engage with opinion formers from Japan, itself under a relatively new administration and facing serious questions about the future focus of its international engagement. The conference aims to forge greater understanding and contacts between Japan and its allies, and also to inform and encourage the development of strategies for greater cooperation with Japan on key global challenges.
