We will also be joined by Mr. James Angelus of ISIC Japan who has kindly offered to give several remarks after Dr. Matsuda&#8217;s presentation.<\/p><p class=\"#(className)\">From Europe to East Asia, the U.S. alliance system has been going through major transformation in the past few years. In order to reconcile the challenges for great power rivalry and eroding military dominance, the creation of military power and strategy has increasingly become the central concern in alliance politics. The U.S.-Japan alliance is no exception. Japan unveiled three new security documents in December 2022, including the nation\u2019s first National Defense Strategy that defines Tokyo\u2019s security policy for the coming decade. The seminar will unpack the new documents to illustrate how they focus on enhancing the overall military effectiveness of the alliance by pursuing an integrated and resilient force structure between the two nations. Moreover, it illuminates how Japan\u2019s updated security policy has broader implications on debates over the role of alliances in U.S. grand strategy while also touching upon some of the potential challenges in its implementation.<\/p><p class=\"#(className)\">All are welcome and refreshments will be provided.<\/p><p class=\"#(className) #(className)\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Please use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/AuUzBsia3pByDKfU9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-type=\"\"><strong>this link<\/strong><\/a> to register for the event.<\/p><p class=\"#(className)\"><strong>Schedule:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li class=\"#(className)\">17:30-18:15 &#8211; Welcome Reception(food &amp; drinks) Feel free to show up anytime during the reception.<\/li><li class=\"#(className)\">18:15-19:30 &#8211; Seminar and Q&amp;A<\/li><li class=\"#(className)\">19:30-20:00 &#8211; Optional Casual Networking and chatting\/wrap up<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"#(className)\"><strong>Speaker:<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"#(className)\"><strong>Dr. Takuya Matsuda<\/strong> holds a Ph.D. from the War Studies Department at King\u2019s College London.
