SUMMARY:U.S.-Japan Economic Security and Technology Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Join NBR for an expert discussion on U.S.-Japan tech and economic security ties amid a period of regional tension and rapid change.\n\n\nAmid an era of rapid technological advances and a shifting geopolitical environment in the Indo-Pacific\, the United States and Japan have both identified economic security as a core strategic priority. Competition for technological leadership and concerns over emerging dual-use technologies have complicated trade and supply chain relations by blurring the lines between market-based economic interests and national security priorities\, while expanding global connectivity\, digital commerce\, and cross-border data flows have introduced new risks and challenges as well as opportunities. Meanwhile\, leadership transitions in the United States and Japan raise questions about each country’s approach to the changing strategic environment in the region. \nPlease join the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) on Tuesday\, January 28\, from 12:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m. for a discussion with Michael Beeman\, Saori Katada\, Daisuke Kawai\, and Crystal Pryor on how the United States and Japan are approaching economic security under an evolving strategic environment.
