SUMMARY:CEALS Presents: US-Japan Cooperation in Trade\, Energy\, and Environmental Protection and US-Indo Pacific Strategy
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis project explores the strengthening of US-Japan cooperation in Eurasia\, focusing on three key areas: trade and investment\, energy security\, and environmental protection. The project takes into account the growing geopolitical tensions in the post-COVID-19 world\, especially China’s increasing assertiveness through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the US-Indo Pacific Strategy. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains\, exacerbated protectionist tendencies\, and shifted priorities in international trade. The election of Joe Biden in the US brought renewed focus on multilateralism\, environmental protection\, and free trade\, offering a window of opportunity for the US and Japan to assert their influence in shaping global governance frameworks\, particularly in Eurasia. President Trump supported the conceptualization of the US-Indo Pacific strategy during his first term. However\, his approach during his second term remains unclear.  The Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) strategy\, led by Japan\, serves as a key vehicle for promoting a rules-based international order in the region. FOIP emphasizes the rule of law\, free navigation\, and open markets\, countering China’s BRI\, which has been criticized for creating economic dependencies in the region. US-Japan collaboration is critical in reinforcing the liberal international economic order\, which is facing challenges due to rising nationalism\, authoritarianism\, and the declining efficacy of multilateral institutions. This project assesses how the US and Japan can leverage their strategic positions to improve trade\, foster sustainable energy cooperation\, and lead global environmental initiatives. Japan\, a leader in renewable energy technologies\, along with the US\, which has shifted focus under the Biden administration toward clean energy and environmental restoration\, offers a counterbalance to China’s state-driven projects that often neglect sustainability. \n  \nPaolo Davide Farah is a Full Professor of Public Administration and Public Policy (with tenure) at West Virginia University\, Eberly College of Arts and Sciences\, John D.
