Rapid societal changes in Japan, the United States and elsewhere, are affecting the relationship between individuals and society. Demographic changes such as in the dual phenomena of declining birthrate and aging society in Japan call for a serious examination of policies such as immigration.

In these and other fields, non-profit public interest groups such as NPOs and NGOs have emerged as increasingly important actors complementing governments and championing the public interest. Greater collaboration of talents and resources from a wide range of disciplines across the business sector, cultural institutions, and civil society are called for to address the pressing needs of contemporary society.

With this in mind, CGP would like to support projects in the following two areas:

1. International comparisons of the role and influence civil society actors have in policy arenas. For example, in light of rapidly changing demographics, what is the role of civil society with regard to immigration and achieving balance in increasingly diverse societies;
2. Creative dialogue and networking among actors in the business sector, cultural institutions, and civil society.

TARGET AREAS

1. Traditional and non-traditional approaches to security and diplomacy;
2. Global and regional economic issues;
3. Role of civil society.
