Emanuel Pastreich (born October 16, 1964) is an American professor, director, and polyglot who is an international relations expert and serves as the president of the Asia Institute,[1] a think tank with offices in Washington DC, Tokyo, Seoul and Hanoi.[2]

Pastreich was briefly an independent candidate for president of the United States 2020.[3] In September 2023, Pastreich officially became a candidate for the Green Party’s presidential nomination in September, 2024[4][5][6] but had to abandon the campaign for the Green nomination because of a failure to gain financial support within the party.[7][8] However, he has continued his candidacy as an Independent.[9] Trained as a scholar of Asian studies, Pastreich writes on both East Asian classical literature[10][11][12][13] and current issues in international relations and technology in multiple languages.[14][15][16][17]

He is fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean and has stressed the importance of Asia for the United States in his political writings.
