He studied Political Sciences, Philosophy and Economics at Magdalen College (Oxford) before joining The Economist as an expert in the EC and Benelux. He held several posts (correspondent in Tokyo, head of the science desk, etc.) until he was appointed chief editor of the magazine in March 1993.
He has written six books about Japan, including 'The Sun Also Sets', a best-seller that has sold over 300,000 copies there.
Bill Emmott works regularly with international media outlets, such as “Exame” (Brazil), “Ushio” (Japan), and “Corriere della Sera” (Italy). He is also a member of the executive committee of the Trilateral Commission and runs Dublin-based company Development Consultants International.
