On March 10, the RAND corporation hosted a seminar entitled The U.S.-Japan Alliance Series: The U.S.-Japan Alliance Under New Management in partnership with Japan House Los Angeles. The event was held in person and live streamed, including morning and afternoon of panel discussions with experts from both countries.
To better understand how and what leadership changes on both sides of the Pacific could mean for the U.S.-Japan alliance over the coming years, experts exchanged their views of continuity, changes and challenges in the economic and security aspects under the new managements.
