  • Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America
    Issue No. 1, Winter 2016 Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America Security and Free Enterprise at Home and Abroad By AEI President Arthur Brooks AEI Chairman Tully Friedman, my colleagues Michael Auslin and Daniel Blumenthal, and I recently returned from a trip to Singapore and Tokyo. We met with a variety of government and business leaders and exchanged ideas about free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and security. We also had the honor of meeting with the prime minister of Singapore and the prime minister of Japan. Japan is not only one of America’s most important allies but also the oldest democracy in Asia. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining stability in the region, particularly in the face of Chinese aggrandizement. Japan’s security is of prime importance to the United States, and American leadership in the region is crucial. Regrettably, despite an increasingly brazen China and a volatile North Korea, we are not hearing much from today’s presidential candidates about how to maintain regional stability. A major new AEI report tackles these issues head-on, along with a revanchist Russia and the ruthless Islamic State. Titled Why American Leader- ship Still Matters and developed through a bipartisan effort led by former Sens. Jon Kyl and Joseph Lieberman, the report explains why the world needs more—not less—leadership from the United States. See page 3 for more on this report. While in Singapore, I had the opportunity to speak with students at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. I focused on the message that capitalism is the best way to help the poorest among us.

  • Conference Programme
    28/10/10 CF PREVIEW PROGRAMME JAPAN: INCREASING ITS GLOBAL ROLE? Monday 1 – Thursday 4 November 2010 1063rd WILTON PARK CONFERENCE in co-operation with The Foreign and Commonwealth Office The Japan Foundation The Great-Britain Sasakawa Foundation Key themes: How are Japan’s international priorities developing after a year under the DPJ? Faced with internal difficulties linked to its economic sustainability, Japan can either try to insulate itself from external challenges and engage with the outside world only on its own terms, or it can become more outward looking but will then need to confront a series of difficult choices linked to dramatic power shifts in Asia. Does Japan want to engage or contain China? Does it want to cling to or break from the US? Does it want to open up its economy and society to foreign investment and immigration? How does Japan see its role and responsibilities in the international community? How best can Japan contribute to shared challenges such as global economic security, climate change, peacekeeping, development, and reform of international institutions? Where can Western democracies and regional actors gain value in working more closely with Japan, and what are the best strategies for achieving greater cooperation for mutual benefit? Conference objectives: The discussion on Japan’s global role will provide an early opportunity for the new British Government, as well as policy makers from Europe and the wider world, to engage with opinion formers from Japan, itself under a relatively new administration and facing serious questions about the future focus of its international engagement. The conference aims to forge greater understanding and contacts between Japan and its allies, and also to inform and encourage the development of strategies for greater cooperation with Japan on key global challenges.

Despite numerous writings on Japan’s security and diplomatic policies, less attention has been paid to the overarching strategies and national priorities that recent Japanese governments have adopted in response to changes in the regional geopolitical and economic balance. In general, a fuller reas- sessment of Japan—its economic, political, social, technological, and security strengths and weaknesses—is long overdue, and this set of essays is a first, limited stab at attempting such. This project would not have been possible without the generous support of the Smith Richardson Foundation, which has invested in my work since I was a junior professor at Yale more than a decade ago.

  • The Global Dimensions of Britain and France's Crimean War Naval Campaigns Against Russia, 1854-1856
    The Global Dimensions of Britain and France’s Crimean War Naval Campaigns against Russia, 1854-1856. Andrew C. Rath Department of History McGill University, Montreal November 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. © Andrew C. Rath, 2011 I Abstract The Crimean War was fought far outside its namesake peninsula in the Black Sea Region. Between 1854 and 1856, Anglo-French naval forces attacked the Russian Empire in the Baltic, White Sea, and Pacific. These campaigns receive little attention from modern historians, and much of the work that does exist relies on a limited number of English-language sources. This dissertation, on the other hand, is a comprehensive examination of these campaigns built on a foundation of primary documents written in English, French, and Russian. It also synthesizes relevant secondary scholarship in order to provide a comprehensive background for the three major European belligerents and to consider the perspectives of the other polities impacted by the conflict, specifically Sweden-Norway, Denmark, China, and Japan. This work’s approach yields a more complete understanding of the worldwide context in which the Crimean War occurred. Ultimately, the wide-ranging imperial conflict that emerges starkly contrasts with customary depictions of the conflict as a petty, regionalized example noteworthy only as a cautionary tale of failed diplomacy and generalship or as a venue for advances is battlefield medicine, journalism, and photography. La Guerre de Crimée se déroula aussi hors de sa péninsule éponyme dans la région de la Mer Noire.

    Slavery and the Constitutional Convention 2013 Walter Berns Constitution Day Lecture “The Founders were not all-seeing or all-wise. Both histo- ry and their constitutional order developed in ways they did not foresee and for which they had not provided well. Slavery and Yet we ought not to be so harshly dismissive of them. Because the vision of racial equality . is, after all, a vision the Constitutional built on their commitment to, and their construction of, a natural rights republic—a republic where all men are held Convention to be created equal and endowed by their creator with cer- tain unalienable rights.” R —Michael P. Zuckert 2013 Walter Berns This year marks the 150th anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Constitution Day Lecture Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, semi- nal events in America’s effort to deal with and overcome the legacy of slavery. Key to understanding that legacy is the place of slavery at the 1787 Constitutional Convention and thence in the US Constitution.. In a lecture marking the 226th anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution on September 17, 1787, Michael P. Zuckert (University of Notre Dame) critically examined the leading “pro-” and “anti-slavery” inter- pretations of the Constitutional Convention and offered an alternative analysis tied to a more accurate and less anachronistic reading of the prin- ciples and politics of the founding era. Zuckert’s lecture was the second in a series named for distinguished AEI scholar Walter Berns. REMARKS BY MICHAEL P.

  • Pacific Cosmopolitans: a Cultural History of US-Japan Relations
    Japan ---America Society of Washington DC BROWN BAG TALK Pacific Cosmopolitans: A Cultural History of US-Japan Relations Talk & Q&A with Dr. Michael Auslin Resident Scholar and Director in Asian and Security Studies American Enterprise Institute Thursday, September 22, 2011 12:00 – 1:00 P.M. Japan-America Society of Washington DC 1819 L Street, NW 1B Level Washington, DC 20036 Join us on Thursday, September 22, for a brown bag talk with Michael Auslin as he discusses with JASW members and friends about the cultural history of the US-Japan relations. Few relationships can match the depth, or importance, of the cultural ties between America and Japan over the past one hundred fifty years. The book, Pacific Cosmopolitans, is a wonderful account of the history of cultural exchange between Americans and Japanese. Dr. Auslin describes an interesting story of how the 'Pacific Cosmopolitans,' who promoted cultural understanding and interaction between the two countries, stayed with their desire to keep the bridge between the two countries intact, even in periods of geopolitical tension or economic friction. The book is of real value for its sophisticated discussion of strategic, economic, and especially cultural dimensions of U.S.-Japan relations, which are also relevant to other bilateral relationships in the world. Michael Auslin , AEI's director of Japan Studies, was an associate professor of history and senior research fellow at the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale University prior to joining AEI. A frequent commentator in U.S. and foreign media, Auslin is also a columnist for the Wall Street Journal.
