U.S.-Japan Alliance: Defense and Security in the Indo-Pacific

The U.S.-Japan alliance assumes significant importance owing to China’s assertive behavior in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Moreover, China-Russia collaboration and North Korea’s advancing missile program alarm the security of the Indo-Pacific Region. The growing alliance between the United States and Japan, along with the increasing network of security partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region, serves to address a wide range of security challenges. These challenges include maritime security, nuclear proliferation, natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and territorial disputes. China is frequently identified as the primary instigator in these disputes, employing grey zone tactics.

This project aims to comprehensively analyze the multi-faceted aspects of strengthening defense and security cooperation between the United States and Japan. It also intends to cultivate a comprehensive understanding through observational assessment and analytical research, thereby advocating a perspective that safeguards sovereignty and territorial integrity of free states while advancing a rule-based international order in the Indo-Pacific.
