SUMMARY:Japan's Growing International Defense Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Since it regained its independence in 1952\, Japan has only had 
 one formal ally: The United States. The Security Treaty between the United 
 States and Japan\, signed in 1951 following the San Francisco peace 
 conference\, and amended in 1960\, has been the cornerstone of Japanese 
 national security policy for three quarters of a century.\n\nHowever\, in 
 recent years\, Japan has developed defense partnerships with other 
 countries\, both in East Asia and beyond. This trend has accelerated since 
 2020\, and those partnerships are now a key element of Japanese defense and 
 diplomacy that cannot be ignored. \n\nSpeaker: \nBenoit Hardy-Chartrand is 
 a Faculty Lecturer in the Department of Political Science and International 
 Affairs at Temple University Japan\, in Tokyo\, where he teaches courses on 
 international politics. He has been conducting research on Indo-Pacific 
 geopolitics in academic institutions and think tanks for close to 15 years. 
 He is also an Associate Researcher at the Raoul-Dandurand Chair of 
 Strategic and Diplomatic Studies in Montreal. His work has been featured in 
 numerous publications\, and he has appeared more than 600 times in media 
 outlets around the world.\n\nBefore relocating to Tokyo in 2017\, he was a 
 Senior Research at the Centre for International Governance Innovation 
 (2014-2017) a Lecturer at the University of Montreal (2015-2017)\, a Junior 
 Fellow at United Nations University (UNU) in Tokyo (2012)\, and a visiting 
 researcher and lecturer at the Shanghai Institutes for International 
 Studies (SIIS) in China (2009).  \n\nModerator: \nKyle Cleveland | ICAS
