In this episode, Dr. Saori N. Katada, the Louis G. Lancaster Chair of International Relations at UC Santa Barbara, unpacks the central insights of her book, Japan’s New Regional Reality: Geoeconomic Strategy in the Asia-Pacific. She traces Japan’s transition from post-war neomercantilism to a proactive, state-led liberal strategy driven by domestic stagnation, the rise of China, and regional financial crises. Highlighting Tokyo’s pivotal leadership in rescuing the CPTPP following the U.S. withdrawal, Dr. Katada examines how Japan balances great-power rivalry by embedding partners like India and Australia into multilateral frameworks. She also addresses the persistent hegemony of the U.S. dollar, bureaucratic hurdles within Tokyo, and the delicate balance Japan must strike between national economic security and globalized commerce amidst rising protectionism.
