Shaping and Operationalizing Joint Strategies and Readiness: Challenges for Japan’s Defense Planning
Co-hosts : Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), Yokosuka Council on Asia-Pacific Studies (YCAPS)
YCAPS and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) are thrilled to announce our next event in Yokosuka. This event will feature Dr. Ryo Yamaguchi, who will lead us in a discussion about challenges for Japan's Defense Planning.
In recent years, the military threats posed by China and North Korea are strengthening and changing in nature, leading to more complex implications for Japan. While Japan is taking some important steps in its defense planning under the National Security Strategy, National Defense Strategy, and the Defense Buildup Plan issued last year, Tokyo still faces myriad challenges going forward in sharpening and strengthening its defense strategies and readiness – particularly in the context of joint operations. In this seminar, Ryo will talk about the current and emerging threats and vulnerabilities for Japan, and more importantly, the key questions in its strategies and defense planning.
*Please note that this is an in-person seminar taking place in Yokosuka, Kanagawa. It will not be streamed online.
