Japan Institute Executive member Shiro Armstrong promoted to Professor

The Japan Institute is delighted to congratulate Shiro Armstrong on his promotion to Professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University, effective 1 January 2024. Within a university promotion to full professor is an acknowledgement of the breadth and depth of impact of a faculty member in contributing to education, research, and to service.

Professor Armstrong has impacted public policy in the Asia Pacific region – and especially Japan - over many years, and continues to build and deepen links with the region, and to mentor emerging scholars. Shiro also leads the Australia-Japan Research Centre and the Asian Bureau of Economic Research, and is Editor of the widely read East Asia Forum (https://www.eastasiaforum.org/), which is hosted at the Crawford School of Public Policy.

Congratulations Professor Armstrong!
