Japan, the United States and a Changing Southeast Asia

The first volume in the Asia Society's Asian Agenda Series, this book addresses the unique partnership that Japan and the United States developed in the last generation and the subsequent emergence of Japan as a global economic and political power, which poses new demands on the partnership and challenges the relationship. Changes that have occurred in Asia during the 1970s require adjustments in the perceptions and policies of both nations. This report is designed to foster increased American understanding and U.S.-Asian dialogue. Co-published with the Asia Society.
