Message from the Co-Directors
The APEC Study Center (ASC) at Columbia University maintains its support of the University's rich tradition of research, conferences, lecture programs, and teaching on the AsiaPacific region by serving as the focal point of study on issues of economic, legal, and political importance for the region for over 29 years.
The ASC actively collaborates on programs at numerous Columbia and other organizations, converting topics spanning the economic, trade, legal, and political dimensions of the APEC member economies and their efforts at increased regional integration and cooperation.
As the world continues to face challenges, we at the ASC will do our part to ensure the views and goals of the Asia-Pacific are represented in conversations held on issues ranging from climate change to economic security to global crises and beyond.
The ASC’s programming and research are made possible by the commitment and energy of the faculty and staff involved, as well as our generous supporters. In particular, we extend our deepest gratitude to the Lotte Group of Korea, ASC’s longtime sponsor.
