Partnership and Leadership:Keys to Community-Buildingin the Asia Pacific Region

In the nearly five decades since theEast-West Center’s founding, theAsia Pacific region has seen

dramatic economic, political and socialchanges that have transformed itscharacter, global influence, and futurechallenges. The Asian share of theworld’s annual production of goodsand services has more than doubled,becoming equal to or exceeding theU.S. share, depending upon the type ofmeasure. China alone has become theworld’s top emitter of carbon dioxide,and Asia’s thirst for resources of allkinds has a huge impact on globalcommodity markets. ContemporaryAsia is also a major source of muchneeded investment capital and thelargest single source of new growth inthe world economy. Today, no problem— from global warming to ensuringadequate food supplies — can besolved without the participation ofboth the U.S. and the major economiesof Asia.

Because of the region’s rapidgrowth, the East-West Center’s effortsto develop common understandingof the resulting impacts and newchallenges, and to promote consensuson how to deal with them, are moreimportant than ever.

In his acceptance address,EWC alumnus Rajendra Pachauri,who shared the 2007 Nobel PeacePrize for his leadership of the UnitedNations Intergovernmental Panelon Climate Change, stressed the needfor cooperation if the world is to meetthe long-term challenges posed byglobal warming. To galvanize suchcooperation and action on this andother global challenges, leadership ofthe kind exhibited by Dr. Pachauri andhis colleagues is essential.

A strong focus on cooperation andleadership imbues every program at theCenter. From our Hawai‘i headquartersand Washington office, we work eachyear in partnership with more than 650organizations spanning the region andglobe. Our goal is to inform presentleaders and to help form and inspirefuture leaders. We seek to sharesubstantive knowledge while buildingthe cross-cultural communicationand teamwork skills necessary forleadership success in the 21st Century.

The scope and depth of theCenter’s programs are illustrated bythis brief overview of our 2007activities:

■ The Asian International JusticeInitiative, a collaborative programwith the U.C. Berkeley War CrimesStudies Center, provided training toprosecution and defense for theinternational tribunal on Khmer Rougeatrocities in Cambodia. The JusticeInitiative also developed videosand other media materials to educatethe Cambodian public about theimportance of the trials and the natureof the trial process. The Initiative alsocontinued its human rights training forjudges in Timor Leste and Indonesia.

■ The Center’s Pacific IslandConference of Leaders convened itstriennial meeting of heads of state andother government leaders for the firsttime ever in Washington, D.C. Inmeetings with key U.S. executive andlegislative figures, the island leaderslearned more about U.S. policies andprocesses and also shared their owninterests and concerns.

■ Student programs expanded totheir highest level in several decades in2007, engaging nearly 500 studentsfrom 53 countries. While the vastmajority of East-West Center studentscome from the United States and theother Asia Pacific countries in our basicfootprint, an increasing number ofstudents come from other areas, suchas Central Europe, Latin America andAfrica, funded from non-appropriatedresources.

■ More than 375 university andcollege faculty from across the U.S. andseveral Asian countries participated inthe Asian Studies DevelopmentProgram’s workshops and conferences,focused on enhancing the teaching ofAsia in the undergraduate curriculum.To further expand the program’soutreach to East and Southeast Asia, anew initiative — Asian Studies in Asia(ASIA) was developed with our partneruniversities in Thailand, Malaysia,Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore and thePhilippines. This project brings Asianand American faculty who are notAsian studies specialists together forlearning in residential institutes, fieldseminars, teaching and researchexchanges, and international conferences.

■ Policymakers are involved in EWCprograms, workshops, and seminars inHawai‘i, Washington, and the regionand receive the Center’s policy orientedpublications, including East-WestWire, Asia Pacific Briefs and the PolicyStudies series. Under development isan innovative interactive website forpolicymakers called Asia Matters forAmerica, designed to help Americansand Asians understand their mutualimportance and impact on each other.

■ Seven media dialogue andexchange programs helped more than100 journalists from the U.S. andacross the region increase theirunderstanding of each other’s societiesand regional challenges. Theseprograms included the flagshipJefferson Fellowships, which celebratedtheir 40th year in 2007; the SeniorJournalists Seminar, which createsdialogue among journalists frompredominately Muslim Asian countriesand the U.S; and a new program,the Northeast Asia JournalistsDialogue, which brought togetherjournalists from Japan, Korea and theUnited States.

The East-West Center’s mission ofcontributing to a peaceful, prosperousand just Asia Pacific Community hasnever been more relevant. As weapproach the Center’s watershed 50thbirthday, our leadership, staff, partners,friends, and far-reaching network of55,000 alumni are taking measure ofour impact and rededicating ourselvesto this vital mission.

ASIAN INTERNATIONAL

JUSTICE INITIATIVE:

SERVING JUSTICE IN CAMBODIA

In 2003, the East-West Center joinedwith Professor David Cohen of the U.C.Berkeley War Crimes Studies Center toform the Asian International JusticeInitiative, a collaborative effort aimedat providing on-the-ground support forrule-of-law and human-rights initiativesin Asia, in both the domestic andinternational legal context. Since then,the AIJI has worked on a variety ofprojects, including conducting legaltraining workshops for judges,prosecutors and investigators ofIndonesia’s National Human RightsCommission and producing analyticalreports on the Special Panel for SeriousCrimes in Dili, Timor Leste.

This year, the program focusedprimarily on the long-awaitedinternational tribunal on crimes againsthumanity committed by leaders of thebrutal 1970s Khmer Rouge regime inCambodia. With support from theBritish government, the AIJI conductedseveral trainings in international lawfor the officers of tribunal.

The AIJI also produced grippingvideo materials used to teach thepeople of Cambodia about inter-national legal processes. Two videoproductions have been completed forbroadcast on Cambodian televisionand screenings in remote villages.“There was a lot of emotion in theroom,” said Center staff member PhilEstermann after the videos were shownfor the first time in the town ofKampong Thom.

Speaking at the East-West Centerin October, AIJI Coordinator MichelleStaggs spoke of the challenges facingthe U.N.-backed tribunal, especiallythat of educating the Cambodianpeople, who have little knowledge ofthe rules of international justice.

“We need to ensure thatexpectations are realistic,” said Staggs,an attorney from Australia.“Prosecuting senior leaders responsiblefor atrocities will not bring abouteconomic and social reform, will notmean that widespread corruption thatexists in Cambodia ceases to existovernight …. Even though we see howdifficult the processes are in these U.N.courts, I still think it’s worthconfronting these challenges andmoving through them, rather than notfacing them at all.”

PARTNERSHIP FOR YOUTH:

HANDS-ON CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

In July, the AsiaPacificEd Programtook 21 high school students fromacross the U.S. to Cambodia for afour-week program that combinedscholarship with on-site learning andproject work focusing on the KhmerRouge tribunal as a lens through whichto examine an issue of global and localconcern. The students also created filmand radio projects that documentedtheir varied experiences in Cambodia.

The trip was part of AsiaPacificEd’sPartnership for Youth program, whichengages high school-aged youths inbuilding Asia Pacific and cross-culturalknowledge, while also developingmedia literacy and analytical as well ascommunication skills.

With the goal of gaining a broadperspective on the Khmer Rougehistory and the ongoing trials againstthe backdrop of the hopes, dreams, andchallenges facing ordinary Cambodians

today, participants interacted with abroad range of specialists and everydayCambodians. They also lived withCambodian families, worked alongsidetheir Cambodian peers on communityprojects, and teamed up withdisadvantaged youth to help improveCambodian youngsters’ Englishlanguage skills while developing theirown knowledge and understanding ofCambodian culture and deepeningtheir cross-cultural skills.

“Working and learning with, aswell as from, Cambodians of differentbackgrounds pushed me to considereverything — from daily home-stayroutines to cultural practices tointernational justice issues — fromanother's perspective,” wroteparticipant Amy Tsang, a senior atScarsdale High School in New York.“I believe that every student and everyAmerican would benefit from thisprogram.”

EWC Alumni:Making a Difference

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTSARE AN IMPORTANT PRIORITY FOR

EWC ALUMNI CHAPTERS UNDER

THE RECENTLY UPDATED EAST-WEST

CENTER ASSOCIATES STRATEGICPLAN. THE IDEA, SAYS ALUMNIOFFICER GORDON RING, IS TO

“further the Center’s global

mission of prosperity and

peace by acting at a very

concrete and specific local

level. It may seem small at

the beginning, but our hope

is that each service project

will take on a life of its own

and evolve into an important

contribution.”

Formany of the East-WestCenter’s more than 50,000alumni, the Center provided a

defining chapter in their lives, affectingtheir outlooks and aspirations andbuilding lifelong personal andprofessional networks. Whileparticipating in education, researchand collaborative programs at theCenter, they enriched the institutionwith their talents, cultural perspectivesand ideas. Today, in countries aroundthe globe, they continue to further themission of the Center — contributingto global understanding, building anAsia Pacific community, and making aworld of difference.

ALUMNI SERVICE PROJECTS:

GIVING BACK

When Center alumni approved anupdated East-West Center Associatesstrategic plan at their conference inHanoi in December 2006, oneimportant new component was apriority for EWCA chapters aroundthe U.S. and Asia Pacific to “encouragecommunity service projects and othervolunteer activities that raise the profileof the Center in local communities” andmeet the needs of the local populace.

The idea, says Alumni Officer GordonRing, is to “to further the Center’s globalmission of prosperity and peace by actingat a very concrete and specific local level.It may seem like a small thing at thebeginning, but our hope is that each serviceproject will take on a life of its own andevolve into an important contribution.”

Already a number of alumni chaptershave taken up the challenge. A fewexamples include:■ In Islamabad, Pakistan, the chapterhas initiated “Hug a Child,” an innovativeand heartwarming project that showswhat can be done with limited resourcesand a generous measure of humanity.Chapter members periodically spendan evening hugging and playing withorphans at a facility for children wholost their parents in the earthquake thatstruck northern Pakistan in 2005.■ In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, alumniare preparing two separate projects —one that offers entrepreneurship training,and another that provides environmentaleducation in schools.■ Chapter members in Dhaka,Bangladesh have helped provide cash,supplies and technical advice to flood andcyclone-affected people, primarilyresource-poor and vulnerable farmers wholost their crops due to two consecutivefloods in the second half of 2007.

■ For some time now, the Chennai,India, chapter has participated infundraising for the National Initiativefor the Blind, which trains visuallyhandicapped people to use special soft-ware developed at the Indian Instituteof Technology, including a talking webbrowser and a program to publish doc-uments in Bharati Braille.■ The Kathmandu, Nepal, chapterhas been helping to provide food andeducation to underprivileged streetchildren through the “Bal Bhojan”(“Feed the Children”) organization,which provides daily meals to severalhundred homeless children, along withclasses in value-based education, art,music skills training and more.■ In collaboration with SindhAgriculture University Tandojam,members of the Hyberabad, Pakistan,chapter have been providing GraduateRecord Exam coaching to studentshoping to study abroad.

’70s ALUMNI:

REKINDLING THE SPIRIT

In August, more than 150 alumni fromthe 1970s gathered at the Center forfour days of renewing old friendshipsand attending sessions around thetheme of “continuity and change.”“Faint memories of the tantalizingsmells of cooking from around theworld were rekindled as alumswandered the halls of Hale Manoaand Hale Kuahine,” reported EWCAPresident Larry Foster.

Perhaps most significantly, the ’70salumni made an import contributionfor generations of East-West Centerparticipants to come. By the time thereunion was over, they had raisednearly $30,000 for EWC scholarships,and for the first time held a specialevent celebrating the generosity ofindividual EWC donors in providingnamed scholarships.

EWC ALUMNUS

SHARES NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

When the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize wasannounced last fall, EWC alumni fromthe 1980s may have recognizedRajendra Pachauri, chair of theIntergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange, a United Nations project thatinvolves review of climate study databy hundreds of scientists around theworld. This year’s Peace Prize wasawarded jointly to the IPCC andformer U.S. Vice President Al Gore“for their efforts to build up anddisseminate greater knowledge aboutman-made climate change, and to laythe foundations for the measures thatare needed to counteract such change.”

Pachauri, originally from Nainital,India, served as a Visiting SeniorFellow and participant with the EWCResource Systems Institute during the1980s. In an interview with a Nobelorganization representative, Pachauricommented that the result of the awardhas been “an enormous amount ofawareness and understanding ofeverything related to climate change.”
