This edition of the East Asian Strategic Review
(EASR) marks the twenty-first year of the flagship publication of the National Institute for Defense Studies (NIDS), Japan’s sole national think tank in the area of security affairs. As a rare annual report in which Japanese researchers comprehensively analyze East Asian security issues,
EASR has built up an established reputation both in Japan and overseas, one that is underscored by the English edition’s citation in scholarly works and the Japanese edition’s use as a university textbook.
EASR comprises chapters examining trends in specific regional countries that have an impact on Japan’s security, and chapters covering timely topics in East Asian security. This edition analyzes diverse themes such as the opaque foreign policy of the United States under the new Trump administration, North Korea’s rising nuclear and missile threat, the challenges faced by China’s neighbors in responding to its growing maritime presence, President Putin’s visit to Japan and developments in the normalization of Japan-Russia relations, the ways in which Europe’s “multiple crises” affect East Asia, and Japan’s efforts to broaden its strategic horizons.
