My latest publication… a short (1500-word) reflection for a generalist readership on Japan and the U.S.-Japan security alliance’s importance for the United States … is now available *free* via the Brookings Institution as part of its “Election ‘24: Issues at Stake” series.

Please take a look!

Excerpt:

“Regardless of the outcomes of the U.S. November election, a robust and politically stable partnership with Tokyo will be essential for both the next administration and Congress to develop and implement a successful Asia strategy—one that builds on and moves beyond past bipartisanefforts to secure U.S. overseas interests in a peaceful and stable region, ensures continued economic prosperity at home, and realizes a “free and open Indo-Pacific.”
