Biographical / historical:

John W. Lewis (1930-2017) was the William Haas Professor of Chinese Politics, Emeritus, who pioneered new ways of thinking about U.S.-China relations and launched some of the first Asian study programs in higher education. He founded and directed the Center for East Asian Studies from 1969 to 1970, the Northeast Asia-United States Forum on International Policy (now the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center), from 1983 to 1990, and, along with theoretical physicist Sidney Drell, co-founded Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) in 1983, serving as a co-director until 1991. Stanford's Center for International Security and Arms Control, CISAC's precursor, was founded by Lewis and Drell in 1970. Lewis also led CISAC's Project on Peace and Cooperation in the Asian-Pacific Region.
