The East Asia Institute (EAI), based in Seoul, Korea, is a private nonprofit and nonpartisan organization devoted to research, publication, education, and international exchange in the realms of foreign policy, institutional reform, electoral politics, and public opinion in East Asia. The EAI strives to transform East Asia into a society of nations based on political pluralism, economic interdependence, and international peace. To this end, it strives to propagate the values of diversity, tolerance, accountability, and transparency.

The “Fellows Program on Peace, Governance, and Development in East Asia” was established in 2005 by EAI, as an international exchange program for scholars with expertise in peace, governance, and development in East Asia. Funded by the Henry Luce Foundation of New York, the East Asia Foundation of Seoul, and the Chang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange of Taipei, it invites established and next-generation East Asianists of the United States to give seminars and lectures based on unpublished articles submitted exclusively for the Fellows Program during their visit of three weeks to two or more institutions of higher education in East Asia. The EAI welcomes seminars and lectures based on interdisciplinary articles on current issues with comparative perspectives to transcend country case studies into genuinely regional East Asian studies. By providing its Fellows with opportunities to interact with East Asia’s leading scholars and major institutions through seminars and lectures, the EAI endeavors to develop a dense transnational epistemic community of East Asianists across the Pacific.
