The mission of the Asia Pacific Peace Research Institute (APPRI) is to enhance understanding of U.S.-China-Taiwan relations and promote peaceful cooperation through rigorous non-partisan policy research, strategic consulting, and forward-thinking initiatives. APPRI acts as a vital bridge between policymakers in Washington, D.C., and key stakeholders in Taiwan and the broader Asia-Pacific region, offering timely, analysis and building trusted networks that enable informed decision-making.
APPRI’s work extends beyond traditional policy analysis, focusing on cultivating cultural understanding and finding common ground amid global competition. Leveraging expertise in technology, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence, APPRI delivers unbiased research to support peacebuilding and democratic resilience. As global power increasingly depends not only on military strength but also on non-traditional forces—such as technology, energy, human capital, and financial stability—APPRI addresses the complex challenges and risks associated with these factors.
Given the Asia-Pacific region’s critical role in global technology, AI, and advanced skills development, APPRI’s research and training programs are designed to explore how technological advancements can revolutionize citizen participation, enhance transparency, and strengthen democratic institutions. APPRI carefully navigates the ethical challenges these innovations present, ensuring responsible and sustainable applications for peace and democracy.
Through this comprehensive and non-partisan approach, APPRI empowers businesses, policymakers, educational institutions, and organizations to effectively navigate the complexities of the digital age, contributing to peace, stability, and sustainable growth across the Asia-Pacific region.
