The East Asia Institute is pleased to announce the selection result of “Fellows Program on Peace, Governance, and Development in East Asia” for the academic year 2010-2011, with generous support from the Japan Foundation, the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange of Taiwan, and YBM/KIS, an education institute of Korea. The EAI Fellows Program brings non-Asian based East Asia specialists 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 Participating Institutions, chose five EAI Fellows. The following lists the five recipients of EAI Fellowship, with their affiliations and project titles.
