Welcome to SPF World Views, a new podcast featuring in-depth discussions with our experts here in Japan as well as our partners around the world. Before diving into these conversations, we thought it best to take a moment to reflect on who are at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) and how we fit into this global conversation. Who better to explain than Dr. Atsushi Sunami, president of SPF. He joins us for the inaugural episode of SPF World Views to consider the foundation's role in contending with increasing divisions around the world and outline his vision for the type of innovation he would like to see at SPF.   You can read the full transcript of this episode on the SPF website. This interview was conducted by Jackie Enzmann, Chief Editor of the SPF English website.
