This event was originally on our calendar in January but had to be rescheduled because of inclement weather. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you will join us on April 18!

Seemingly, Japan has adapted to Trumpian foreign policy like no other. Whereas many “western democracies” have maintained a distance to the Trump administration, Japan has not, and embraced it fully. How and why has this been done? Are the Japanese public behind? The lecture will focus on Japan’s choice in the Trump era.

Professor of American Politics and Foreign Policy at Keio University. Japan Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center in DC until August 2019. Currently working on the long term effect of Trumpian foreign policy on American international commitment and its image around the world.
