This is the third in a three-part series of a discussion between executives at the Asia Pacific Initiative (API) ¡ª research director Yuichi Hosoya, a professor at Faculty of Law, Keio University; Ken Jimbo, executive director for the Japan-U.S. Military Statesmen Forum and a professor at Keio University; and senior research fellow Kazuto Suzuki, a professor at the University of Tokyo ¡ª on geoeconomics surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war and changes in international order.
KS: In the last two parts, we discussed the characteristics of the Russia-Ukraine war, the role of the United Nations in the international order, deterrence capabilities and the effectiveness of economic sanctions.
In the final part, we would like to discuss Japan¡¯s role and the direction it should head in amid expected changes in the international order after the end of the war. First, I would like to ask Dr. Hosoya, as a historian what do you think about the role of Japan in a historical context.
