GREAT POWER COMPETITION IN THE INDO-PACIFIC:
IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S.-JAPANESE REGIONAL LEADERSHIP

The United States-Japan Alliance has served to underpin security in East Asia, leading to over a half century of relative stability and prosperity in the region. However, China is increasingly challenging the existing rules-based regional order and competing for influence across multiple dimensions.

On November 18th 2021, the Japan-America Society of Washington DC and the National War College will host the seventh annual Japan-U.S. Military Program event in partnership with the National War College Alumni Association, the National Association of Japan-America Societies, Sasakawa USA and the Japanese Embassy. Great Power Competition in the Indo-Pacific: Implications for U.S.-Japanese Regional Leadership will explore ways in which the United States and Japan can work together, and with others, to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region in the face of these new challenges.
