Japan’s Foreign Policy in the Trump Era – Ramifications for NZ?


Event Details

What are the foreign policy options for Japan in the Trump era – and the resultant implications for NZ and the Asia-Pacific region?

After reaching their best relationship ever under Presidents Abe and Obama, will Trump’s isolationist tendencies mean Japan emerges as an economic adversary, or an ally with whom to share values? What are the impacts of China’s expansionist moves and North Korea’s nuclear sabre-rattling?

Prof Nakayama is Catalyst Trust’s third Kippenberger Chair speaker from Victoria University’s Centre for Strategic Studies. He is Professor of American politics and foreign policy at Keio University and an Adjunct Fellow at the Japan Institute of International Affairs.

His talk will focus on understanding the foreign policy options for Japan in the Trump era and how Japan sees America’s role in this region, and ramifications for New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region.

Please register at connect@catalystnz.org. Venue: Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa – Coronet 2 room. $5 koha at the door.
