This year marks the 70th anniversary of the signing of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, launching an alliance that was key to stability, peace and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region. How has the U.S.-Japan alliance adapted to changes in the region, including the rise of Chinese influence, the populist backlash to internationalism in the U.S., and growing support in Japan for a more robust leadership role? Will Japan continue to play a more independent role in the region that we have seen during the Trump Administration? How will the history of Japan’s wartime aggression in Asia impact its ability to play more of a leadership role? How will the COVID-19 pandemic impact the geopolitics of Asia and America’s role there?

Please join us to hear two experts share their views on Japan’s evolving role in Asia and what that means for the U.S. Hiroyuki Akita, commentator of the Nikkei Shimbun and former Washington correspondent, is one of Japan’s top analysts on foreign policy and the US-Japan relationship. Professor Thomas Berger, professor of international relations at the Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, is one of America’s top experts on Japanese foreign policy.
