Commission on US-Japan Relations for the Twenty First Century Final Report:America's Stake in the Future of the US-Japan Relationship-Issues and Recommendations

摘要

America's relationship with Japan is coming to the end of an era. That era wasone of progress and growing interdependence but it was also characterized by rising tension over the way the two countries manage their economies. In the past, a common overriding interest in containing the threat from the Soviet Union sheltered U.S.-Japan ties from the effects of trade and other economic frictions. In the post-Cold War period, however, a new basis for the relationship between the United States and Japan will have to be established or economic conflict could bring the alliance to an end. The report contains recommendations which are intended to help shape the development of a new U.S.-Japan relationship for the coming century.
