1 – 4 pm

The U.S.-Japan alliance is at a crossroads. As Washington attempts to forge a new paradigm for U.S. foreign policy in its war against terrorism, Japan, by virtue of its role as a major American ally, is being compelled to re-examine its own national interests and posture in the world. Join a panel of distinguished foreign policy experts as they discuss the impact of the Bush administration’s new security and foreign policy initiatives on the U.S.-Japan alliance and Japan’s evolving role on the global stage.

Michael Armacost, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan; Walter H. Shorenstein Distinguished Fellow and Visiting Professor, Asia/Pacific Research Center, Stanford University
