Against a backdrop of rapid, dramatic changes in the security, economic, and technological environments of Northeast Asia, many new issues of relevance to the U.S.-Japan alliance relationship have arisen in recent years. The U.S.-Japan alliance is the cornerstone of the U.S. presence in Asia, bringing together the world’s largest and third largest economies. Please join us for a series of discussions of the challenges for the U.S.-Japan alliance associated with China's military modernization drive and increasing foreign policy assertiveness; North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction; the importance of sustaining and advancing trade liberalization and good governance standards for foreign lending and investment; bilateral U.S.-Japan security issues including basing, force mix, missile defense, and defense industrial development; and science and space technology cooperation.
