Here Comes the Sun: Japan's Reemergence as a Global Power

Abstract

The importance of the Asia-Pacific region to the global community cannot be understated. Maintaining and strengthening the strategic partnership with Japan provides regional stability, supports the strategic security objectives of both nations, and ensures the United States maintains its global leadership role. Japan's government recognized that with globalization and the shifting balances of military and economic power, it must step out of the shadow of the United States (U.S.) in order to protect its national interests. Examination of Japan and the U.S.-Japan Alliance brings to light the importance of Japan to the National Security Strategy of the United States.
