Japan’s Geoeconomic Strategy in the Asia-Pacific Description Japan has a pivotal role to play in the geoeconomic balance of Asia, and thus in 21st century commerce. When Japan’s domestic economy began to transform at the turn of the century, its economic foreign policy strategies also started to shift, away from bilateralism and informal rules toward new approaches of regional institution-building that would assure Japanese leadership. As China and the U.S. wrestle over economic advantage, Japan is positioning, more or less quietly, to orchestrate the newly emerging trade dependencies and agreements in Asia. Saori N. Katada will introduce her new book, “Japan’s New Regional Reality,” to show how this new foreign economic policy has been articulated and implemented. Speakers: • Saori N. Katada, Professor of International Relations, University of Southern California • Ulrike Schaede, Professor and Director of the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology, GPS UC San Diego —————— This Japan Zoominar @ UC San Diego series brings together new insights, knowledge and opinions on current events in Japan.
