    Lecture Abstract:

    The lecture offers an overview of Japan’s security, foreign policy, and foreign economic policy initiatives under Prime Minister Abe and notes the geopolitical shift in Japan’s strategic orientations as well as the emphasis on networking with Japan’s allies and partners for political alignment, security cooperation, and rule- and norm making. The lecture also examines Japan’s Southeast Asia policy under Mr. Abe and underlines the fact that Japan is committed to supporting ASEAN unity and providing assistance for ASEAN integration, while noting that powerful forces are causing a divergence in strategic orientations between mainland and maritime states, with Vietnam as a partial exception.
