Abstract
This paper discusses how economic security has become a central issue-area in U.S.âJapan relations. The bilateral cooperation between these two large and technologically advanced economies constitutes a vital component of collective resilience. Facing the shifting geopolitical ground under the second Trump administration, Japan is actively retooling its economic security strategies, finding both areas to deepen its relationship with the United States and at the same time grappling with a less reliable partner. On the one hand, Japanâs build-up of strategic indispensability could help address U.S. needs and enhance Japanâs leverage. On the other hand, due to the Trump administrationâs unilateral actions, the Japanese government faces greater challenges in building collective resilience amongst the âlike-minded.â Japan has to aim for economic security in an ever more anarchic world, where the great powers are not willing to pitch in to provide (and abide by) a global economic order.
