EAST-WEST CENTER
The U.S. Congress established the East-West Center in 1960 to promote cultural and technological exchanges among
the governments and peoples of the Asia-Pacific region, including the United States. The Center promotes
responsible development, long-term stability and the human dignity of all people in the region and prepares the
United States for constructive involvement in Asia and the Pacific through research, education and dialogue. It
provides a neutral meeting ground at which people with a wide range of perspectives exchange views on topics of
contemporary significance.
The Center is a public, non-profit institution with an international board of governors. Some 2,000 scholars,
government and business leaders, educators, journalists, and other professionals annually work with the Center's staff
on major Asia-Pacific issues. Since 1960 about 30,000 men and women from the region have participated in the
Center's cooperative programs.
Academic, government, civic, business, and media leaders are invited to join with the East-West Center's
international staff in exploring major issues of international and regional concern, within the Center's programs on
Resources, Environment, International Economics and Politics, Population, Cultural Studies and the Pacific Islands
Development Program.
PROGRAM ON RESOURCES: ENERGY AND MINERALS
The Program on Resources conducts research on energy and mineral resources in Asia, the Pacific region, and the
Americas. - The research addresses critical issues such as supply security, strategies for efficient development and
utilization of domestic energy and minerals, and the mitigation at local and global levels of negative social and
environmental impacts. The main goal is to assist planners in government and the private sector in the formulation
of effective programs that coordinate national policies, e.g., economic development and growth, security of energy
(oil, gas, coal, electricity) and mineral supplies, maintenance of the environment, and protection of public health.
The aims of the research projects are the identification of critical issues and problem solving, employing the most
sophisticated modeling and analytical techniques in economics, geology, engineering, and finance. The Program on
Resources devotes a major part of its time to analysis and assessment of resource policy issues in Asia-Pacific nations
and the United States and plays an active role in interacting with lawmakers and government agencies at local and
national levels. The Program on Resources accordingly collaborates closely with the energy and mining departments
of governments in the region and with private and state-owned energy and mining companies.
A major objective the Program on Resources is to foster the academic and practical education of students from Asia-
Pacific nations and the United States through participation in research projects at the Center. Senior staff hold
affiliate appointments at the University of Hawaii and participate in guiding thesis or dissertation research.
