In 2010, President Barack Obama called for a “Pivot to Asia” in order to focus more energy on America’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Since then, it has become a common catchphrase for U.S. policy concerning Asia, from the Trans-Pacific Partnership to the U.S.-Japan Alliance. As Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs, Dr. Kurt Campbell, Chairman and CEO of The Asia Group, LLC, was a key architect in the creation of the policies behind the “Pivot to Asia.” This year, in recognition of his contributions to U.S. policy in Asia, Dr. Campbell received the Secretary of State’s Distinguished Service Award, the nation’s highest diplomatic honor. In this lecture, Dr. Campbell discusses the current state of U.S. policy in Asia, as well as his thoughts on U.S.-Japan Relations.

Kurt Campbell, Chairman and CEO, The Asia Group, LLC; former Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, the United States Department of State
