The third in a series of three special sessions, all focused on the issue of East Asia–The United States: A Search for Common Values, this symposium will bring together alumni from East Asia, who have attended Salzburg Seminar core sessions under the auspices of the Freeman Foundation, with Seminar alumni from selected American universities. The purpose of this series is to allow East Asian academics and their American counterparts to build on the relationships and ideas begun during their initial Salzburg Seminar experience and to encourage ongoing ties between them.
