he 2007–2008 academic year saw WEAI continuing to flourish as a research and teaching com- munity, fully living up to its reputation as Columbia University’s foremost regional institute. T Indeed, according to a recent university evaluation, WEAI should be held as a model for other regional centers at Columbia. During this year, when almost every week featured the programming of multiple events, the Institute sponsored major international conferences, symposia, policy forums, art exhibits, and film series, as well as numerous and lively brown bag seminars and presentations. As in the past, WEAI programming and sponsorship or co-sponsorship was instrumental in arranging campus lectures by distinguished international and national leaders, including Nambaryn Enkhbayar, president of Mongolia, who lectured in conjunction with the University’s World Leaders Forum; C. H. Tung, first chief executive of the Hong Kong SAR, who was keynote speaker at the Institute’s Fourth Annual China Symposium, “Defining Chinese Modernity: Information, Economy, and Environment”; and Christopher Hill, assistant secretary, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, U.S. Department of State, who gave our annual Borton-Mosely Distinguished Lecture on Eurasia. Distinguished presentations were also heard at two Weatherhead Policy Forums, while frequent Brown Bag Lunch Lectures dealt with a larger variety of subjects involving modern and contemporary East and Southeast Asia. WEAI faculty also joined other participants in Columbia’s famous University Seminars, especially the seminars “China: International Business,” Modern East Asia: China,” “Modern East Asia: Japan,” and “Southeast Asia in World Affairs.” As always, presentations involving discussion and analysis of recent important events, some- times scheduled at the last minute, were included in WEAI’s overall program. Included among such activities were WEAI professor Gerald R. Curtis’s talk “Abe’s Gone . . . Is the LDP Next?” and the roundtable discussions “The South Korean Presidential Elections” and brown bag lecture “Unrest in Tibet: A Conversation on Causes and Prospects,” respectively involving WEAI professors Charles Armstrong and Robert Barnett, each joined by distinguished colleagues from other institutions. This past year marked the twentieth anniversary of WEAI’s Professional Fellows Program, which has remained instrumental in enhancing the Institute’s research community by bringing in midcareer professionals in journalism, other private sector areas, and government service for a period of reemersion in an academic environment, so as to conduct independent research projects, audit classes of interest, and participate in all other Institute activities. In a January 2008 celebration of this anniversary, Program alumni met with other guests in Tokyo’s International House for a WEAI-sponsored panel discussion, “The 2008 U.S. Presidential Election and Its Implications for U.S–East Asian Policy.” The panel was composed of four senior WEAI faculty. Also present was the Program’s long-time coordinator, senior research scholar Robert Immerman, who was honored at this Tokyo meeting for his many years of service to the Program, and to WEAI as a whole.

Letter from the Director 1 The Institute during 2007–2008 maintained its strong commitment to enhancing the East Asian content in education at all levels. For K–12 education, our award-winning national outreach program Asia for Educators provided study tours, teaching modules, internet programming, and in-service teacher training for teachers across the United States. WEAI supported undergraduate teaching and student activities at Columbia in many ways, including sponsorship of the Weatherhead Undergraduate Council (WUC) and its publication Soundings: East Asia Monthly —“a newsletter for undergraduates.” At the graduate level the Institute continued to run its own increasingly popular MA program in East Asian regional studies, and to provide fellowship assistance to students in MA, PhD, and other graduate programs. The Institute-sponsored student-run Asia Pacific Affairs Council (APAC) works to build at Columbia a community of all students with an interest in East and Southeast Asia. Included in this past year’s activities was the Green Dragon initiative, aiming to enhance understanding of China’s environ- mental challenges and policies. Both on and off the campus, the Institute sponsored exhibitions and film screenings open to the University community and to the public at large. Among such programs were “Outside In: New Realms for Taiwan Art,” featuring the works of ten contemporary artists from Taiwan; “Out of the Ashes: Early Postwar Japanese Movies”; and the Center for Korean Research Film Screenings. As a research center, the Institute continued to host a large community of scholars. In addition to WEAI’s regular Columbia teaching and research faculty and the Professional Fellows, there were Research Scholars, Senior Visiting Research Associates, Visiting Scholars, and Institute Associates. WEAI faculty has been importantly strengthened this past year with the arrival of Dr. Shang-jin Wei, to be the first N. T. Wang Professor of Chinese Business and Economy. Within the Institute, continuing to serve as major foci for research were the Modern Tibetan Studies Program, the Center for Korean Research, and the Toyota Research Program. Facilitating the publication of scholarly research were three WEAI publications series, Asia Perspectives, Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, and Weatherhead Books on Asia. The success of these publication series has in large part been due to the hard and most capable work of Madge Huntington, who has been serving WEAI for the past twenty years. Madge has decided to retire, and while we of course respect her decision, and wish her the very best, we all very much regret her departure. She has been a member of a WEAI staff community whose overall dedication, solidarity, and excellent work makes my job as director far more enjoyable and rewarding than it would otherwise be. My gratitude goes out to all of them, and I want to thank WEAI associate director Waichi Ho for her fine guidance of this community and for her vital contribution to making WEAI such a leading institution. For the 2008–2009 academic year new initiatives are being arranged, including teaching and brown bag programs concerning contemporary Taiwan. The year 2009 will mark the sixtieth anniversary of our institute’s founding, and several major events on and off campus, in the United States and abroad, are now in the planning stage. So while serving this year as WEAI director has been exciting and personally most gratifying, I am confident that next year will hardly be one of letdown.
