Why has Japan emerged from the “lost decades” unscathed from the populist wave and as a far more consequential actor in the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific? This conversation will introduce Mireya Solís’ new book "Japan’s Quiet Leadership," which analyzes Japan’s domestic economic and political evolution, its economic statecraft and the array of geopolitical challenges that have triggered a gradual but substantial shift in the country’s security profile.

This Japan Zoominar @ UC San Diego is organized by the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. For more information on activities, as well as recordings of previous Japan Zoominars, please visit jfit.ucsd.edu.
