Last December, Japan adopted the new “National Security Strategy,” “National Defense Strategy,” and the "Defense Buildup Program" that will boost both Japan and the Japan-US alliance to deal with the myriad security challenges in the Indo-Pacific. Still, the Japan-US alliance continues to face significant challenges that are bound to grow in the years ahead. In this webinar, we speak with Zack Cooper, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute to think about: How is the Indo-Pacific security environment changing? What have been the key developments in the US-Japan alliance and what are the issues left unaddressed? What are the key agendas for the US-Japan alliance regarding China and Taiwan?
