America-Japan Program
Our Mission
The prime mission of the America-Eurasia Center’s Japan Program is to develop new and facilitate existing positive relations between the United States and Japan within Eurasia and internationally. The America-Eurasia Center is constantly building an association of Japanese scholars who share in this vision.

There has been a surge in scholarly, journalistic, and political commentary with regards to Japan.

About Us
Founded as the first organization in America to use the term Eurasia, it has been the America-Eurasia Center’s vision that the relationship between America and the nations of Eurasia (Europe and Asia), with a newer focus on Japan, to work together to build lasting positive relations so that in times of crisis such bonds will not break. Such relationships can only be built from the ground up and that is why the membership and readership of The America-Eurasia Center has grown dramatically.
Those who are interested in building peaceful positive relations among nations are becoming increasingly alarmed at the current course of relations between America and nations in Eurasia.
New initiatives, solutions, and opportunities must be made. That is why The America-Eurasia Center and its America-Eurasian Business Coalition continue to promote our mission through Programs, Conferences, Publications, and the media which reach billions of people around the world. We are seeking partnerships with all peoples and nations who seek peace and prosperity through understanding...not supporting centuries-old divisions that lead to endless wars and disasters.
