Biden and Japan’s Strategic Choices
January 11, 2021
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s article ‘Biden and Japan’s Strategic Choices’ has been published in the Quarterly Report of the Japan Forum for Strategic Studies, Vol. 87, January 2021.
The article argues that a move from Trump to Biden for Japan is poised to have positive effects for the US-Japan alliance. Nonetheless, it is vital for Suga and Biden to work towards creating a personal camaraderie, not unlike the one Abe shared with leaders like Obama (and even Trump), in order to pursue an open and mutually beneficial future for the US-Japan partnership.
