Post-Abe Visit: What Is the Future of Security in East Asia?
The RAND Corporation presents a panel of leading RAND analysts and senior Japanese national security policy leaders discussing the state of the U.S.-Japan alliance; important changes in Japanese foreign, national security, and defense policies; and security in East Asia.
When:
May 7, 2015 1:00pm to 5:00pm
In the wake of Prime Minister Abe Shinzo's summit with President Barack Obama and historic address to a joint session of Congress, the RAND Corporation is pleased to welcome a delegation of senior Japanese national security policy leaders. Along with leading RAND analysts, this high-level delegation will discuss the state of the U.S.-Japan alliance; important changes in Japanese foreign, national security, and defense policies; and security in East Asia.
Our distinguished panelists will cover questions including: How are China's rise and North Korea's missile and WMD developments affecting the U.S.-Japan alliance and how should the alliance respond? What impact will recent developments in Japanese policymaking have on Japan's external security policy? And how are changes in U.S. force posture and strategy likely to be affected by the revisions to the U.S.-Japan defense guidelines?
