We had the pleasure to wrap up three years as the first cohort of Mansfield-Luce Asia scholars by giving a briefing of our study tour in Washington DC. This Fellowship started in 2019 and has taken us to Montana, Vietnam Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Washington DC and beyond. It’s been an honor to get to know fellow scholars and learn from so many within the Mansfield policy network. Stay tuned for published briefings in 2023.
