Forums
NBR hosts email discussion forums that examine U.S. policy in different regions. In each forum, thought-provoking contributions regularly made by scholars, journalists, business people, government officials, and other individuals create a lively atmosphere for debate
Japan-U.S. Discussion Forum
NBR, with full support and funding from the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission (JUSFC), launched in December 2000 an electronic discussion forum for those interested in issues surrounding Japan-U.S. relations, Japanese politics, economics, social issues, history, and security. The Japan Forum provides an opportunity for in-depth and focused discussion and exchange of information and ideas among individuals who seek to further their understanding of contemporary Japanese affairs. To ensure appropriate, relevant discussion, Dr. Edward G. Griffin, Professorial Lecturer in History and International Affairs at George Washington University, moderates the Forum. For more information about NBR's Japan Forum, please contact Tracy Timmons-Gray at japanforum@nbr.org
