Will Japan’s Indo-Pacific activism survive after Abe?
September 1, 2020
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s piece ‘Will Japan’s Indo-Pacific activism survive after Abe?’ has been published by ‘The Asia Times’ on September 01, 2020.
The article argues that Abe, in his speech, had said once that it was vital for Japan to remain a “rules promoter, a commons’ guardian, and an effective ally.” For Japan’s Indo-Pacific growth and activism to survive post-Abe, his successor must accept, even if he does not endorse all of Abe’s other policies, this vision for Japan.
