This project develops programs dedicated to research and information dissemination that focus on exploring new ways of perceiving reality and new ways of collaboration that focuses on international relations, foreign policy, and security issues, all of which are related to Japan-U.S. relations. We conduct a range of research analysis in cooperation with a network of Japanese and American experts, and examine the themes of “Ukraine, China, and the Middle East: Japan-U.S. relations in the context of multidimensional security challenges,” “understanding the U.S. under Trump 2.0,” “Japan-U.S. relations 80 years after WWII,” and “the rapidly changing international order and role of the U.S.” The findings, based on research with a mid- to long-term perspective, will be compiled into reports and commentary papers to be shared through our website and social media accounts.
