A Statement from our Chairman on the Passing of Dr. Joseph S. Nye, Jr.

By Randall G. Schriver |

The Institute for Indo-Pacific Security extends our sincerest condolences on the passing of Dr. Joseph S. Nye, Jr., close friend to, and intellectual partner of, our late former chairman Ambassador Richard L. Armitage. Dr. Nye was a consummate scholar and public servant who made innumerable contributions to the national security of the United States in his many government roles, including as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs during the Clinton administration. During his decades-long academic career, Dr. Nye deepened our understanding of international politics and educated several generations of American leaders. He and Ambassador Armitage dedicated much of their post-government careers to championing the U.S.-Japan relationship; the alliance has continued to flourish in no small part due to their efforts. His passing is a great loss and he will be deeply missed. Our prayers go out to his family, his friends, and the many people whose lives he touched.

The Honorable Randall G. Schriver

Chairman

The Institute for Indo-Pacific Security
