セミナー概要
Both the United States and Japan are deep in their political campaign seasons ahead of elections. With so much happening in many foreign policy areas ranging from Iran and North Korea, to U.S. - China tension over trade, there is much to discuss in foreign policy circles. On the other hand, there is a "myth" that foreign policies do not buy votes. Do the U.S. and Japan experience a similar disconnect between policy and politics? Is there a way to bridge understanding on foreign policy between policymakers and voters?
