Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s article ‘Japan is Vital to Europe’s Global Gateway’ has been published by The National Interest on 20 January 2022. The article is Part-III of the four-part series on EU’s Global Gateway Strategy.
The article examines two specific questions: Can Europe partner with Japan to ensure the success of its latest strategy in the Indo-Pacific despite the long-standing U.S.-Japan alliance—especially considering the EU’s search for strategic autonomy? And, why should Tokyo itself focus on such a partnership?
