The East Asia Institute is pleased to announce the selection of “EAI Fellows on Peace, Governance, and Development in East Asia” for the academic year 2009-2010, with support from the Henry Luce Foundation of New York and the Chang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange of Taipei. The EAI Fellows Program brings non-Asian East Asianists with cutting-edge expertise in political science, international relations, and sociology for an international exchange program with the goal of encouraging interdisciplinary research with a comparative perspective in the study of East Asia.

 

This year the Selection Committee, consisting of the representatives of the five Member Institutions, chose five EAI Fellows out of total 20 applicants. The following lists the five recipients of EAI Fellowship, with their affiliations and project titles.
