About

East Asia Forum provides a platform for the best in East Asian analysis, research and policy comment on the Asia Pacific region and world affairs.

The site is run out of the East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) at the Crawford School of Public Policy in the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific. Contributors are from the College of Asia and the Pacific, across the Australian National University and other regional institutions in EABER. Content includes Australian, East Asian and Asia Pacific region perspectives, with guest bloggers from right around the region.

The East Asia Forum is a forum for EABER and SABER and is edited by Shiro Armstrong and Peter Drysdale, who are economists at the Crawford School of Public Policy in the Australian National University.

The views expressed in this forum are those of the individual authors and do not represent the views of the ANU, EABER, or the institutions to which the authors are attached.
