Us-Japan Trade Friction: Its Impact on Security Cooperation in the Pacific Basin

by T. David Mason, Abdul M. Turay (Editor)

US-Japan Trade Friction: Its Impact on Security Cooperation in the Pacific Basin is a collection of essays that explore the security implications of recent US-Japan trade tensions. Of particular concern is whether the security alliance that binds these two Pacific powers can weather the political storm surrounding the burgeoning US trade deficit. Noted scholars examine the dimensions and origins of the trade deficit, the domestic political tensions resulting from it, and the ways in which these conflicts strain a US-Japan security alliance that is already subject to disputes over burden-sharing issues.
