What's The Point?

The Point is the blog of Asia Policy Point, an independent Washington, DC, research center studying US-Asia policy. APP is particularly focused on the intersection of history and security in the region.

The Point identifies and discusses research tools for the Asia policy analyst.  It also highlights the significance of under-reported current events, trends, and challenges in the Asia-Pacific region. The blog draws from the policy research of the APP’s staff and international membership.

APP publishes two weekly email newsletters for its members. One, the APP Policy Calendarpreviews the meetings, events, news, and opinion critical to the US-Asia policy analyst. Membership is open to all. The second, is The Japan Brief, a review of news from and about Japan. Back issues of both are archived on this site.

Please contact us for information on joining APP or engaging us to assist you with your research and analysis. Memberships begin at just $100 annually for individuals.

APP members are welcome to visit at any time and out-of-town members are welcome to use our office as their own while visiting Washington.

We like to believe we're putting the "think" back into "think tank".
