A co-organized event by the Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation (RJIF) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) will be held at CSIS Headquarters in Washington, D.C., on January 24, 2017.
\nRJIF Chairman Dr. Yoichi Funabashi will deliver opening remarks, and Senior Research Fellow Yoichi Kato, and Project Members Ken Jimbo (Associate Professor, Keio University), Toshihiro Nakayama (Professor, Keio University), and Takashi Terada (Professor, Doshisha University) will participate in a panel discussion.
\nAt the event, policy experts and scholars from Japan will discuss the results of a six-month project on the emerging risks and challenges to the Japan-U.S. alliance. The nature of competition in the Asia-Pacific region is shifting to \u201cgeo-economics\u201d from the traditional \u201cgeopolitics.\u201d This project, organized by RJIF, identifies old and new risks to the alliance in this new international setting.<\/p>\n
