Policy experts and scholars from Japan will discuss the results of a six-month project on the emerging risks and challenges to the Japan-U.S. alliance. The nature of competition in the Asia-Pacific region is shifting to “geo-economics” from the traditional “geopolitics.” This project, organized by the Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation (RJIF), identifies old and new risks to the alliance in this new international setting.
