The Asia Leadership Fellow Program (ALFP) invites you to hear and interact with intellectuals from eight Asian countries who will address some of the vital issues of our time. These issues range from military threats to democracy, to the complex fallout of globalization.
Each year the ALFP invites distinguished intellectuals from Asian nations to spend three months in Japan and collaborate on concerns crucial to Asia. The Program encourages dialogue amongst the Fellows aimed at throwing up new ideas and visions for the region.
The present eight ALFP Fellows have worked on the theme “Identity, Security & Democracy” for some weeks now. They have done so by engaging in seminars, workshops, personal study and field trips. This symposium brings together some of that work, in its common concerns and varied perspectives.
