uring the 2008–2009 academic year, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute continued to uphold its reputation as a leader among Columbia’s institutes devoted to regional studies. One measure Dof WEAI’s growing importance in the University and extra-University communities is the traffic on the WEAI website, which more than doubled since the previous year. Likewise, the mailing list for the weekly WEAI internet bulletin had more subscribers than ever. The second semester of the 2008–2009 academic year marked the first half of our year-long celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Institute’s founding in 1949. I want to first highlight some of our work and programming throughout the academic year and then turn to the special events during the 2009 spring semester sponsored in connection with the anniversary celebrations. Key to the Institute’s advancement of knowledge and scholarship pertaining to modern East Asia is its hosting of conferences, meetings, numerous Brown Bag Lunch Lectures, and seminars. These presen - tations cross disciplinary boundaries and bring forward regional issues and complexities within East Asia or linking East Asia to the rest of the world. WEAI-sponsored or co-sponsored panel discussions during 2008–2009 included, among others, “Evolving Asian Regionalism: Opportunities, Challenges, and the Implications on International Trade”; “The Strategic Triad Under New Leadership: Confidence Building Measures and Prospects for Cooperation between Taipei, Beijing and Washington”; “Lessons of the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO) for Denuclearizing North Korea”; and “The Tibetan Plateau: Environment at Risk.” Among special lectures was the Borton-Mosely Distinguished Lecture on Eurasia, given by Professor Stephen Kotkin: “Russia and China: Neither Friends nor Enemies”; Professor Gerald Curtis’s lecture, “Japan’s Politics: Current Realities, Future Possibilities”; and Professor Shin-wha Lee’s “Korean Soft Power in International Relations.” Last year’s brown bag lectures provided broad regional coverage of China, Tibet, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. While brown bag luncheon talks traditionally have been most numerous among WEAI lectures, with thirty-three given during 2008–2009, that year marked the beginning of an effort to develop brown bag lecture series, which consider a broader topic from the different perspectives provided by each individual lecture. “Reporting China” was a brown bag series of four lectures that invited discussions from media professionals and CU faculty on the role of the frontline media in inter - preting developments in that country; the issue of Taiwan’s identity was taken up in a series of three brown bag lectures; “Soldiers and Soldiering in Twentieth Century Japan” included brown bag lectures and the screening of two films, which comprised one of several other film screenings also sponsored by the Institute. These included two film series on China: “On the Edge” in spring and “Reel China” in the fall. Programming for 2009–2010 academic year brown bag talks anticipates that most will be incorpo - rated in topical series, as these were quite successful last year. The Institute community of Columbia faculty and students continued to be importantly augmented by visiting scholars from other academic institutions. Another important source of outside energy is our Professional Fellows program, which brings to the Institute mid-career professionals in areas such as government, the media, and the business world. More links are provided by a focus on cross-regional comparisons and relationships, as these promise to be an increasingly important concern of the Institute and of the University as a whole. Last year the University established two Columbia Global Centers, in Beijing and in Amman, Jordan, with additional centers planned. On the Columbia campus, WEAI and

Letter from the Director 1 the Institute of African Studies (IAS) co-sponsored a workshop series addressing issues of health, the environment, state building, and resource management in the Southeast Asia and Africa regions. Of increasing importance in Institute planning and activities are undergraduate education and the greater involvement of undergraduates in Institute activities. The Weatherhead East Asian Institute Undergraduate Initiative is an effort to enrich students’ education about East Asia through a variety of events, programs, and opportunities, including the support of student groups and key experiences such as research abroad. The Weatherhead Undergraduate Council and the WEAI Undergraduate Advisory Committee are organizations drawing in and run by students with an active interest in East Asian affairs. Undergraduate-centered activities include special performances such as Indonesian gamelan dance. A new innovation last year was the organizing of breakfast meetings between groups of students and key East and Southeast Asian diplomats, such as the permanent representative of the Republic of Indonesia to the United Nations in New York. This is an extremely popular program with students, one that takes full advantage of the opportunities provided by a New York City location. Last year WEAI also sponsored three panels for undergraduates: one dealt with pursuing graduate work in East Asia, another focused on career opportunities in East Asian companies and markets, and the third, on careers in East Asian art. East Asia, though, is too important to begin relevant education even at the undergraduate level. The Institute’s educational mission involves the Asia for Educators Program (AFE), based at the Institute, which works around the country to support both undergraduate and K–12 East Asia education. During last year’s second semester, events commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of the Institute’s founding enriched the already busy schedule of Institute activities. Xu Bing, the prominent artist and vice president of Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, delivered a special WEAI lecture, drawing in a very large audience from the University and beyond. The anniversary was celebrated and brought to the attention of the larger community of East Asian scholarship and education during the annual meeting, in Chicago, of the Association of Asian Studies through a reception sponsored by the Institute. Last semester’s celebrations climaxed, most appropriately, in East Asia itself. In late May and early June symposia capped commemorative programs in Beijing, Tokyo, and then Seoul. In Beijing several panels dealt with “Columbia and China: Past and Future”; in Tokyo the subject was “Columbia and Japan: A Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute”; in Seoul, “Global and Local Korea: Korean Studies in a Changing World.” In all three cities Columbia and WEAI alumni were witness to panels composed of Columbia faculty together with local scholars and public figures. Columbia alumni were once again exposed to the intellectual excitement provided by the University’s faculty, and the many nonalumni in the several audiences were introduced to it. Although the events planned for the second half of 2009 will all be at Columbia, we are fully confident that the intellectual excitement will remain pitched at a high level. Last year was very good indeed, and the planning and successful completion of so many programs could not have been done without the cooperation and efforts of the WEAI faculty and staff, together with East Asian alumni and many others. Too many people were involved for me to be able to thank them here by name. However, the extremely hard-working WEAI staff—those directly involved and those providing support—certainly must be mentioned: Celia Bhattacharya, Elizabeth Demissie, Tony Do, Caroline Hasegawa, Waichi Ho, Sheniqua Larkin, Daniel Rivero, Patricia Slattery, Kazue Tomiyama, Laura Warne, Meghan Wu, and Tina Yin. Of these I must single out for special congratulation Associate Director Waichi Ho and Student Affairs Coordinator Celia Bhattacharya, both of whom became mothers during our sixtieth-anniversary year.
