MacArthur Foundation Commits $68 Million to Support Regional Cooperation for Peace and Security in Asia

“The growing economic and political power of Asia is transforming the globe,” said MacArthur President Jonathan Fanton. “Over the coming decades, the Asia-Pacific will be the world’s economic engine, helping millions in the region to find new prosperity. Yet, in this time of great opportunity, security challenges — from power conflicts to resource scarcity — threaten to undo the region’s many gains. As China, India, and other Asian nations become regional and global powers, Asia-Pacific nations must think anew about how our societies can work together to foster peace and prevent conflict.”
