Over the last decade, Japan has emerged as a major champion of the liberal economic order. The record is impressive: playing a leading role in the
creation of mega trade deals, codifying rules for the digital economy, and orchestrating an infrastructure investment push in developing Asia.
However, the fracturing of the world economy due to great power competition and resurgent economic nationalism presents new challenges
for Tokyo in balancing its economic internationalism with defensive concerns over economic security. What is Japan's global power position
today?
Guest Speaker:
