SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — The East Asia Institute is an independent think tank, established in 2002 to develop ideas and policy recommendations to address the main strategic challenges in the Northeast Asian region. EAI conducts research (often in partnership with Northeast Asian think tanks), hosts a young scholars' research program, and has an active agenda of public seminars and publications. This grant provides support for EAI-led research on the prospects for the U.S. -- R.O.K. alliance, and new directions for South Korea's policies toward its neighbors in the region. The grant would provide funding for policy research activities involving think tanks throughout Northeast Asia and the U.S.
