Japan's Economic Security Strategy

According to Japan's latest National Security Strategy, the security environment surrounding Japan is at its "most severe and complex in the postwar era." A robust economic security strategy has emerged as a central component of Japan's efforts to respond to its new strategic reality. However, even as Japan has emerged as a key international leader on economic security, it faces distinct challenges in translating its strategic ambitions into tangible strategic gains. This edition of "Getting to Know Japan" will provide an overview of Japan's central economic security dilemma, discuss notable successes of Japan's economic security strategy, and identify key challenges that Japan will face in the years ahead.
