Research Abstract |
Despite a number of efforts to critically interrogate political nature of "area studies" in the US during the Cold War period, there still is a need for more empirical studies to reveal institutional arrangements that implicitly framed the scholarship on Asia beyond individual scholars' academic motivation and research efforts. Based on multi-archival research in various academic and philanthropic institutions in such places as the US, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, this research project examined the role that those philanthropic institutions, such as the Ford Foundation, played in the development of Asian studies in the US and its Asian counterparts. It is revealed that not only the enormous amount of funding, but also the strong initiative and guidance provided by those foundations were crucial for the introduction and smooth continuation of area studies programs on Asia in US academic institutions, while geopolitical, historical, and domestic, as well as inter-faculty, political factors were important elements that influenced the reactions to the US initiatives from its Asian counterparts.
