Author and editor to be publications director

Author and editor Nayan Chanda has been appointed director of publications for the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization.

The new center -- to be directed by Strobe Talbott, former deputy secretary of state and a key architect of U.S. foreign
policy under the Clinton administration -- will serve as a catalyst for research, writing and teaching on globalization, using Yale faculty and bringing to Yale distinguished scholars and practitioners of international affairs. The center will be housed in Davies Mansion.

Chanda is editor-at-large of the Far Eastern Economic Review, one of Asia's premier business magazines. He first joined the Review in 1974 as Indochina correspondent, based in Saigon. Following the fall of Saigon, he moved to Hong Kong, where the Review has its headquarters. In 1980 Chanda was appointed diplomatic correspondent, and from 1984 to 1989 was the magazine's Washington correspondent. He spent 1989 to 1990 as senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington and from 1990 to 1992 was editor of the Asian Wall Street Journal Weekly. He returned to Hong Kong as deputy editor of the Review in 1992 and in 1996 was named editor.

Chanda is author of "Brother Enemy: The War After the War," which was described in Foreign Affairs magazine as "a compelling account of the third Indochina war, indispensable for anybody seeking to understand the roots of the regional conflicts between China and Vietnam and the sources of the continuing war between the Vietnamese and Cambodian communists." Published in French and Japanese translations, "Brother Enemy" has been broadcast in Vietnamese by BBC radio.

Chanda is coauthor of "The Political Economy of Foreign Policy in Asia," "The Challenge of Reform in Indochina" and "China, Japan and India in Southeast Asia," as well as other books on foreign policy and conflict resolution. A contributing editor of the journal Foreign Policy, he is a member of the advisory board of the Center for International Development at Harvard University and serves on the advisory council of the Brookings Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies.

Chanda was a featured speaker at "Yale 300 in Asia," part of the University's Tercentennial celebration, held May 5 in Hong Kong.
