Award Information
The disintegration of the Soviet Union is increasing the likelihood of international conflict in the Pacific rim and the West. The G-7 recognizes that this danger can be mitigated by financing the CIS's transition to a market economy, but members disagree about how to proceed. This project attempts to provide a scientific foundation for resolving the impasse with a joint Japanese-American scholarly initiative aimed at rigorously formulating issues in dispute, examining cultural sources of misunderstanding and devising cooperative strategies for financing a Soviet economic transition that will stabilize international relations.
