12 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY MAP: MORNINGSIDE CAMPUS & ENVIRONS 52 1 Letter from the Director

Over the past year, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute’s leading position in regional studies was amply reaffirmed. A fitting finale to our 60th anniversary celebrations was the June 13, 2010, symposium in Taipei, “Taiwan in the Twenty-first Century: Politics, Economy and Society.” This symposium continued WEAI’s outreach programs in East Asia to local Columbia alumni and to all prior visiting scholars, professional fellows, or participants at WEAI. The first three symposia were held in Beijing, Tokyo, and Seoul during May and June of 2009, and planning is now under way for a May 2011 sym- posium to take place in Hong Kong. As with the earlier events, the Taipei symposium involved close cooperation with the Columbia Alumni Association. The local signifi- cance of the symposium was underscored by the keynote speaker, Vincent Siew, vice president of the Republic of (Taiwan), and by the meeting on the following day of symposium panelists and speakers with ROC President Ma Ying-jeou. Representing the Columbia University administration was Professor Nicholas Dirks, Arts and Sciences Executive Vice President and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, who introduced the keynote speaker. Other programs throughout the very busy academic year included several series of “Brown Bags” on North Korea and Northeast Asia, the global financial crisis, and social transformations in Hong Kong. WEAI also presented a special dia- logue on “Japan and the U.S. in Afghanistan” between Sadako Ogata, president of the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and M. Ishaq Nadiri, Jay Gould Professor of Economics at and former senior economic adviser to the president of Afghanistan. This year’s Borton-Mosely Lecture was given by Morton Halperin, senior adviser for the Open Society Institute, while the World Leaders Forum, under WEAI cosponsorship, had as speaker the prime minister of Thailand. Programming was far richer than I can detail here, and in the pages of this Annual Report that follow there can be found a full list of talks given during 2009–2010. The body of this report also details faculty activity and research, but deserving special mention here is Professor Merit Janow’s joining the China Investment Corporation Advisory Board and Professor Andrew Nathan’s appointment to the Board of Directors of the National Endowment for Democracy. The outstanding strength of our WEAI faculty is also demonstrated by the awards they bring in: among others, this year’s awards include a Department of Education Title VI National Resource Centers grant for a four-year period, and a grant from the Department of State to WEAI’S Modern Tibetan Studies Program for its Tibet Eco-Tourism Project. The contents of this report describe other WEAI programs, such as those concerned with outreach to secondary school educators, that have received both national attention and the support of outside agencies or foundations. As this report goes to press, programming for next the next academic year is in full swing. In addition to the sympo- sium in Hong Kong noted above, we are planning an “East Asia Symposium” on the Columbia campus as well as more Brown Bags, including new discussions on public health in East Asia that bring together regional experts and medical health professionals. My remarks above perhaps fail to convey the complexity and broad scope of WEAI activities, but these are brought out by the full report that follows. The Institute’s vigor is of course a product of faculty excellence, but it also results from the fabulous support staff that we are so fortunate to have. Here I wish to record my gratitude to all of them, and I also want to congratulate Waichi Ho, who has been promoted to WEAI executive director. I conclude by urging all our friends to stay connected with us through participation in our programs, checking in on our Web site, subscribing to our mailing list, or joining our Facebook page.
