The Need for Leadership in the Asia Pacific Region
The Asia Pacific region needs visionary young leaders who can approach the area's emerging issues with a broad
international perspective, and with a propensity for regional cooperation that mirrors the emerging regional
consciousness. To facilitate such cooperation, new leaders will need a vision that transcends nationalistic boundaries.
Future leaders must initiate policies that reflect the needs, sensitivities, and interests of the rapidly shifting political and
economic systems of the region.
Developing this new understanding is a task not only for government leaders, but equally for public leaders in business,
engineering, journalism, medicine, law, education, the arts, and public administration. Extended exposure to promising
young professionals from Asian nations in a cosmopolitan university setting will hasten the emergence of such leaders and
foster the assimilation of cosmopolitan values.
By establishing its distinguished scholarship program, Stanford University hopes to help identify and train such leaders.
The Institute for International Studies (IIS) will form a locus for special activities and networking among Asia Pacific
Scholars that will complement their ongoing interactions with other Stanford students and the faculty. To foster group
cohesion, all Scholars will participate in a year-long interdisciplinary seminar that examines the changing political and
economic relationships in the region and how they inter-relate with the cultural contexts. In addition, the seminar will
serve to deepen the Scholars' understanding of the United States and its role in the region. Periodic reunions and
conferences will be planned to bring alumni of the program back to campus and into contact with current Scholars, thus
widening the network and providing continuity from one class to another.
The enduring friendships built under such circumstances are certain to have far-ranging effects and foster unique
opportunities throughout a lifetime. Through such carefully developed personal relationships, the prospects for long-term
peaceful and productive international relationships within the Pacific Basin can be nurtured and reinforced.
The Stanford Asia Pacific Scholars Program (A/P Scholars) was launched in September 1997. The inaugural class of
Stanford Asia Pacific Scholars consist of 19 outstanding graduate students enrolled in schools across the university:
Business, Engineering, Education, Law, Medicine, Earth Sciences, Humanities and Sciences. Fifteen of these students
are from Asian countries stretching from Japan to New Zealand, from Guam to China and including Taiwan, Southeast
Asia, and the South Asian subcontinent. Five are from the United States.
