IIPS / NPI

Nakasone Peace Institute (NPI) was founded in June 1988 by former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone for research and study, international exchange, and other activities conducive to examining critical issues facing the world and Japan. The Institute pursues an ambitious research program that covers the fields of international politics, economics, security, energy, and the environment. As of November 1997, IIPS began running the Japan National Committee of the London based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).
