Edwin O. Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies at Johns Hopkins University is a research center within the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) that supports the research and study of transpacific and intra-Asian relations and seeks to advance mutual understanding between Northeast Asia and the United States. [1]
The Reischauer Center was established as the Japan Institute in 1984 in honor of the first Japanese-born and Japanese-speaking U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Edwin Reischauer.
From 1984 through 1990, Reischauer was the Center's Honorary Chair. After his death in 1990, his widow Haru Reischauer assumed the same role, and this continued until her death in 1998. [1] In 2003, Kent E. Calder joined SAIS and became the Center's director.
The Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies conducts research on a range of topics impacting the future direction of U.S.-Japan bilateral relations by focusing on the status quo and the lack of various essential policy dialogues between the two countries. Topics include a U.S.-Japan Policy Dialogue, the United States and Japan in Trilateral Contexts, A Changing Washington, Northeast Asian Political Economy, and Asia-Middle East Relationships. The Reischauer Center also hosts visiting scholars from the major nations of the North Pacific to conduct research, deliver lectures, and make submissions to the Asia-Pacific Policy Papers series. In May 2013, the Center instituted the Reischauer Policy Research Fellows Program for recent graduates. [2]
The Center's published works encompass a broad range of Asia-related topics, addressing both specialist and popular audiences. It supports the publication of articles, monographs, and books as well, through its Asia-Pacific Leadership Paper Series, Asia-Pacific Policy Paper Series and its US-Japan Yearbook Series.

International relations between Japan and the United States began in the late 18th and early 19th century with the diplomatic but force-backed missions of U.S. ship captains James Glynn and Matthew C. Perry to the Tokugawa shogunate. Following the Meiji Restoration, the countries maintained relatively cordial relations. Potential disputes were resolved. Japan acknowledged American control of Hawaii and the Philippines, and the United States reciprocated regarding Korea. Disagreements about Japanese immigration to the U.S. were resolved in 1907. The two were allies against Germany in World War I.
