THE MIKE MANSFIELD FELLOWSHIPS

Advancing Understanding and Cooperation in U.S.- Relations

Washington, DC • , Japan • Missoula, Montana • www.mansfieldfellows.org “...knowledge is essential for acceptance and understanding. By examining the political heritage, the economic experience, and even the national myths that tie people together; by exploring the cultural, religious, and social forces that have molded a nation, we can begin to better understand each other and contribute to the knowledge and understanding that will strengthen our ties of friendship and lead to a better world.”

—Mike Mansfield

“…a vigorous program of exchanges is the surest way, over the long term, to build a true community of Asia Pacific nations.”

Celebrating 25 Years of The Mike Mansfield Fellowships

“It has long been evident that the U.S.-Japan relationship has far-reaching consequences not only for the Pacific region but also for other parts of the world. In establishing the Mike Mansfield Fellowships, the U.S. Congress has taken an important step toward developing a new generation of government officials with a deeper understanding of Japan and close working relationships with Japanese officials.

With the strong support of the government of Japan, the Mansfield Fellowship Program gives U.S. government officials a unique opportunity to learn about Japan and its government from the inside.

We are pleased to see that U.S. agencies are making significant use of the Fellows who have completed the program, assigning them responsibility for Japan issues and cooperative programs and relying on their expertise and advice on how to work with Japan and foster close coordination on a wide range of issues. It is our sincere hope that U.S. government agencies will continue to promote this creative initiative by encouraging the participation of their rising officials who have a career interest in the issues important to the U.S.-Japan relationship. We have no doubt that the Mansfield Fellows will continue to be great assets to the United States as we seek to advance our interests and values in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.”

I have had many opportunities to see the enduring value of the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program. Years ago I helped write the legislation that created the program, and in recent years my office has welcomed several Mansfield Fellows. The Mansfield Fellowship Program is accomplishing just what we hoped it would—alumni Fellows are contributing to greater understanding and cooperation between the United States and Japan. The U.S.-Japan relationship has matured since the early 1990s and the Mansfield Fellowship Program has played an important part in this process. Mansfield Fellows’ commitment and contributions to the relationship have helped maintain the stability we value and rely on as we look to the future of the alliance. — Yoshimasa Hayashi, Member of House of Councillors 3

The Fellowship Year

Japanese Language Training Fellows begin the program with a seven-week course of intensive Japanese language study in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Resources for pre- departure language training are also available to Fellows with low-level Japanese proficiency. The Ishikawa immersion program—which includes a homestay, cultural activities, and professional site visits—improves the Fellows’ Japanese speaking and listening skills and builds their confidence in using Japanese. It also introduces the Fellows to Japanese culture outside Tokyo and helps them adjust to living Fellows begin the program with a course of intensive in Japan. At the conclusion of the homestay, language and cultural study in Ishikawa Prefecture, followed by language training classes in Tokyo. Fellows move to Tokyo to begin their placements.

Post-Fellowship Return to U.S. Agencies Following the year in Japan, Fellows are required to return to U.S. federal government service for a minimum of two years. It is expected that agencies sending officials to the program will use Fellows’ expertise and network of contacts to benefit the agency in Japan- related work. As alumni, Fellows participate in Foundation-sponsored professional develop- ment activities and programs and are expected to participate in educational outreach programs and assist the Foundation in the recruiting, In Japan, Fellows participate on a daily basis in office training, and orientation of new Fellows. activities and have opportunities to share their expertise in presentations to their colleagues and the public.

During the Fellowship year in Japan, Fellows participate Fellows develop a broad-based understanding of Japan in supplemental seminars on trade, security, politics, through study tours, site visits, and business travel with and other issues of interest. Fellows meet with experts their Japanese counterparts. including Professor Mieko Nakabayashi, former Member of Japan’s House of Representatives from 2009 to 2012.

From its inception, the Mansfield Fellowship program has given U.S. government employees a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get an insider’s view of how the bureaucracy works and how decisions are made in Japan. Throughout the Fellowship program, I had exceptional exposure to the Japanese government and acquired a deeper under- standing of Japanese language and culture. While Japan has changed greatly since I was a Fellow, much of what I learned remains very valid today. Throughout my career, I have been able to draw extensively from the insights and expertise gained during my Fellowship—both in facilitating cooperation as well as in negotiations with Japan. — Amy Jackson, Vice President, American Chamber of Commerce of Japan; Maureen and Mike Mansfield Board of Directors; Inaugural Mansfield Fellow 1995–1997 6

Following their year in Japan, alumni Fellows participate in Foundation-sponsored outreach programs, share their expertise at meetings and conferences, and maintain contact with their counterparts in Japan.

I think the Mike Mansfield Fellowship is the most unique fellowship in the world—bar none. I know of no other fellowship where fellows receive language training, a homestay, and then the opportunity to work side-by-side with foreign government officials on important policy issues. For me, being a Mike Mansfield Fellow has been one of the single best experiences of my life. Working now at USTR on Japan issues, I have regular contact with Japanese government officials and use my Mansfield Fellowship experience daily. — David Boling, Deputy Assistant USTR for Japan, Office of the United States Trade Representative, Mansfield Fellow 1999–2001 8
