A Panel Discussion co-organized by The Sasakawa Peace Foundation and Sasakawa USA
On May 18, Continuity or Change: U.S. Defense and Foreign Policy under the Next Administration
(May 18, 2016)
Closed.
The event took place in light of the 2016 U.S. presidential election where recent developments have heightened concerns over the fate of U.S. global leadership and foreign affairs within the Washington policy community. The first panel looked back on the successes and lessons learned from previous administrations and provide views on how the next president should approach U.S. foreign and security policy issues, including policy in Asia. The second panel identified major defense challenges facing the U.S. as well as its allies in Asia and around the world, and examined whether the U.S. has the necessary resources and capabilities, political will and public support to address these challenges.
The SEED Program aims to engage the next generation of U.S. policy experts on Japan and improving their understanding of U.S.-Japan relations through a series of pre-trip briefings, a week-long trip to Tokyo, and post-trip opportunities for publication and networking. In the third implementation of this program, Sasakawa USA selected participants with its partnering think tanks from the two previous delegations, the Center for American Progress and the Foreign Policy Initiative, to bring together a bipartisan group of defense experts and policymakers.
