About the Book and Editors

U.S.Japanese Energy Relations: Cooperation and Competition

edited by Charles K. Ebinger and Ronald A. Morse

This book highlights the major problems and challenges that lie ahead in U.S.-Japanese energy relations. Energy coperation, both through joint projects and bilateral planning, has become an important barometer of the U.S. diplomatic relationship with Japan, as evidenced by the high-level U.S. Japan Energy Working Group set up in January 1983 following Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone's visit to Washington, D.C. The contributors discuss in detail the problems posed by energy security differences and uncertain oil markets; U.S. crude oil exports to Japan; nuclear, coal, and solar cooperation; and the prospects for conflict over investment in Siberia and Asia.

Charles K. Ebinger, director of the energy and strategic resources program at Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies, is the author of Foreign Intervention in Civil War: The Politics and Diplomacy of the Angolan Conflict (Westview, forthcoming, 1984). Ronald A. Morse, secretary of the East Asia program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, is the editor of The Limits of Reform in China (Westview, 1983).

Preface

In the decade since the first oil crisis, the United States and Japan have learned a great deal about their own energy markets and methods for reducing future energy demands and have made some progress in cooperating together in new energy research and development. Both nations have also experienced an economic slowdown, made serious efforts to conserve energy, and sought multilateral solutions to world energy problems. The energy demand profile of these countries has not changed significantly during this period, however, despite their determined efforts to use more gas, coal, and nuclear energy. Moreover, both nations have found themselves in disagreement over Middle East policy, in conflict over oil market purchasing policy, and in acrimonious debate over their different perspectives on nuclear energy.

Although the oil crisis has certainly brought Japan and the United States to a new awareness of their differing energy needs and outlooks, there is potential for cooperation in such energy-related issues as coordinated oil stock drawdown policy, better energy research and development cooperation, and a serious commitment to the International Energy Agency. Because of this situation and the rising concern over bilateral energy issues, the East Asia Program of the Wilson Center and the Center for Strategic and International Studies of Georgetown University agreed to cooperate in sponsoring a conference to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S./Japanese energy relationship. The U.S.-Japan meeting was one in a series of events focused on Asian energy security issues.

All of this would not have been possible without a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to the East Asia Program of The Wilson Center. We wish to express our thanks to all of the conference participants and the many people who made our task easier.
