Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (Shorenstein APARC) is a unique Stanford University institution dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of contemporary Asia. Shorenstein APARC’s mission is: • to produce and publish outstanding interdisciplinary Asia-Pacific–focused research; • to educate students, scholars, and corporate and governmental affiliates; • to promote constructive interaction to influence U.S. policy toward the Asia-Pacific; • to guide Asian nations on key issues of societal transition, development, U.S.-Asia relations, and regional cooperation. “We remain hopeful that Asian countries will seek and find opportunity in the challenges posed by globalization.” Director’s Message Progress is one side of the story of globalization. Another story is one of friction and backsliding. Asia holds this kind of varied narrative as a region with immense diversity in political and social systems, and for some, vast economic growth set against a backdrop of inequality. Early 2016 saw stock market turbulence in China and continued stagnation in Japan, and in the United Kingdom and the United States, the EU referendum and U.S. presidential election created a sense of concern worldwide throughout the exceptionally volatile campaigns.
