Armitage Nye Reports on the U.S.-Japan Alliance

Reports from the bipartisan study group on the U.S.-Japan Alliance

In the year 2000, Richard Armitage and Joseph Nye brought together a bipartisan group to develop a vision for the U.S.-Japan alliance before the presidential election, to serve as a roadmap for the relationship regardless of which party won. Since then, they have built on this tradition of bipartisanship in the U.S.-Japan relationship with reports in 2007, 2012, 2018, 2020, and 2024. These “Armitage-Nye” reports have assessed the state of the U.S.-Japan alliance and suggested a new agenda for the challenges and opportunities on the horizon, both in the near and long term. CSIS has contributed to the bipartisan study group on the U.S.-Japan alliance and has hosted the release of the reports since 2007. Reports published by CSIS are available here.

This project is made possible with general support from CSIS. No direct sponsorship contributed to this project.
