East-West Center (EWC)

The East-West Center, Honolulu, HI, US.

Self-description:
"The East-West Center is an education and research organization
established by the U.S. Congress in 1960 to strengthen relations and
understanding among the peoples and nations of Asia, the Pacific, and
the United States. The Center contributes to a peaceful, prosperous,
and just Asia Pacific community by serving as a vigorous hub for
cooperative research, education, and dialogue on critical issues of
common concern to the Asia Pacific region and the United States.
Funding for the Center comes from the U.S. government, with
additional support provided by private agencies, individuals,
foundations, corporations, and the governments of the region."
