Overview
Pacific Forum CSIS (Honolulu, HI) is a one-of-a-kind American think tank, respected in Asia for understanding and listening to Asian concerns and in Washington for its careful representation to Asians of the nuances of U.S. policy positions and decisions. A grant to Pacific Forum would support a creative project to bring U.S. experts on nuclear, Korea, and Japan policies to Korea and Japan and to conduct a week-long series of publicized town hall forums on the U.S. relationship with its allies and the changing nature of security relationships in North Asia. This effort would simultaneously (1) educate Washington policymakers about the nature of the dialogues in Japan and South Korea surrounding acquiring nuclear weapons; (2) reassure the publics of Japan and South Korea that the U.S. will protect them and that acquiring nuclear weapons of their own would only reduce their own security; and (3) ensure that policymakers in Japan and South Korea know how to respond to the concerns of their own publics. Pacific Forum will incorporate a range of qualitative and quantitiave evaluation methods into its project plans to help assess whether the project reaches its goals. (New, $180,000/1; 90% of project budget)

Grants to this Grantee
for the Energy Security and Climate Change Program
The Center for Strategic and International Studies is a policy research organization dedicated to advancing practical ideas to address the world’s greatest challenges. Achieving global energy transition requires reducing domestic emissions, while also incentivizing emissions reductions abroad. A clear vision for accomplishing this under different social and economic conditions is underdeveloped. This grant to the center’s Energy Security and Climate Change Program will support a cross-disciplinary research project to inform U.S. leadership in global decarbonization by increasing understanding of global trends and how U.S. public policy and trade strategies can influence international decarbonization. Working with a range of key stakeholders, including U.S. policymakers and diplomats, the private sector, academics, the press, and an advisory committee of leading academics and policy experts, this two-year effort will result in economic and policy studies, geopolitical research and analysis, conferencing, and educational products. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
