Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation USA
It was established as the U.S. Corporation of the Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation (RJIF).
RJIF is a think tank founded in September 2011, half a year after the Great East Japan Earthquake which brought about a catastrophic crisis in Japan.
We had developed several kinds of research programs about pressing issues facing Japan, under the conception of “rebuilding Japan,” starting with the Fukushima nuclear accident investigation. On the occasion of the fifth year since establishment, Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation USA, Inc. (RJIF-USA) was set up in the U.S., an international intellectual network hub.
Furthermore, Asia Pacific Initiative (AP Initiative) was founded in July 2017, as RJIF is stepping from its first “rebuilding Japan phase” to its second stage, which widens the focus to the Asia Pacific region.
From here on, RJIF-USA and AP Initiative will do research and advocacy activities, hand in hand, to become an intellectual incubator which helps to construct a peaceful liberal international order in the Asia Pacific region.
