Connecting People & Ideas to Advance Mutual Interests in U.S.-Asia Relations

In March 2013 the Mansfield Foundation released, “Unique Experiences, Unique Perspectives: Mansfield Fellows and Their Insights on U.S.-Japan Relations,” highlighting many of the ways the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program has provided Fellows with unique insights into the Japanese government’s policymaking process as well as opportunities to improve coordination between the United States and Japan. Unique Experiences, Unique Perspectives: Mansfield Fellows and Their Insights on U.S.-Japan Relations was initiated to commemorate the selection of the one-hundredth Mansfield Fellow to enter the program since its establishment by the U.S. Congress in 1994. The publication is a compendium of essays written by twenty-eight alumni of the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program.
