Japan Enters the Post-Abe Era: More of the Same or New Directions?
PARTICIPANTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER FROM HERE.
Just days after becoming the longest sitting Prime Minister in Japan’s history, Shinzo Abe unexpectedly announced on August 28 his resignation citing serious health issues. The next Prime Minister will face unprecedented domestic and foreign challenges ranging from Japan’s demographic crisis, the rise of China’s military and economic power, a global pandemic which is driving a world recession, and doubts about America’s longstanding security commitment to Japan. What will be the policy priorities of the next Prime Minister, Yoshihide Suga, and how will he differ from PM Abe in content and style of leadership?
The Japan Society of Boston and the Japan Society of Northern California will jointly present a program to explore the opportunities and pitfalls of the post-Abe era.
