The Program for International Studies in Asia (PISA) aims to build a community of scholars, officials, policy analysts, and citizens who can conduct an informed dialogue on the central issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region. PISA engages with individuals who can participate constructively in the region's emerging regimes and who can help develop a common vocabulary for analyzing international problems and to reach a common understanding of those issues.  We emphasize human resource development by organizing training progrms and by assisting in curriculum development and program development for the region's leading institutions.

Welcome to the Program for International Studies in Asia. PISA enters its twelfth year as a memberof the George Washington University community, but its activities span the globe to connect institutions, individuals, and government agencies in pursuit of expanding opportunities for education and research in international affairs. Thanks to the dedication of members of the PISA Executive Committee led by its Chairperson Professor David Dewitt, and to the support Dean Michael E. Brown of the Elliott School of International Affairs, PISA is poised to partner with foundations, organizations, and individuals to carry out its mission.
