From the the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research:
This is the first issue of Asian Outlook, a new bimonthly publication that will identify and analyze specific topics that either concern American strategic interests in Asia today or will assume greater importance in the near future.
After a period of decline, security ties between the United States and Japan have been revitalized by both countries’ responses to the threats of terrorism and a nuclear North Korea. The invigorated alliance has also taken significant steps to deal with the rise of China as a military power, including the coordination of security policy, missile defense cooperation, and U.S. support of Tokyo’s efforts to assert its interests in the Asia Pacific region. U.S. policymakers should welcome these developments and continue to support Japan’s emergence as a strong American ally.
