US-Japan-China Comparative Policy Research Institute

The world’s three largest economies - the U.S., China and Japan - have become strategically interdependent to an unprecedented degree. Each of these powers is increasingly sensitive to changes in the capabilities and policies of the others. To understand the global significance of contemporary developments in the Asia/Pacific region requires multilingual, inter-disciplinary knowledge and experience.
In December of 1997, a small group of Chinese researchers, scientists, economists and engineers with study or work experience in Japan, residing mainly in Silicon Valley, founded the US-Japan-China Comparative Policy Research Institute (CPRI), an independent think tank focusing on comparative social, economical, political, and industrial policy issues. CPRI is the only think tank in the world to independently, specifically and comprehensively review and analyze the dynamic tri-fold interactions unfolding between the U.S., Japan and China. CPRI has established international networks, exchanges and cooperation with related institutes and individuals in the U.S., Japan, the greater China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), Canada, France, Germany, the U.K., Spain, Australia, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, India, Korea, Malaysia and other regions. Japan's National Institute for Research Advancement listed CPRI in its "World Directory of Think Tanks" 2005 Edition.
CPRI issues Comparative Policy Review, an annual collection of CPRI’s published writings, in print until 2008. Since 2008 CPRI has published more than twenty books. Among CPRI’s tasks is the introduction of less noticed, yet vital issues discussed in one language to readers of the other languages in this trio of nations.
CPRI also provides public lectures and articles, and provides media interviews to organizations including Voice of America, the British Broadcasting Company, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Radio Free Asia, Australia National Broadcasting, and local San Francisco Bay Area channels. CPRI participates in educational institutes (such as H-Net), magazines and international research institutes, such as Sino-Japanese Studies, Spain's Contemporary History Association, and Japan's Research Commission on the Constitution. CPRI also provides advanced inter-disciplinary strategic consulting service in the fields of international trade, comparative industry policy, Asia Pacific cooperation, humanitarian tasks, and democracy & human/civil rights. CPRI welcomes cooperation with other individuals or institutes with similar missions.
CPRI was incorporated in California as a non-profit educational public benefit corporation in January 2002 and was granted tax-exempt status in March 2002 by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the U.S. Treasury Department, as an organization described in Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).
