Guide

I wrote Japan Challenges America because the U.S.-Japanese alliance is on trial. Its purpose is to alert the public about the growing crisis in U.S.Japanese relations, the causes and consequences of the crisis, and what can be done to check the drift toward a serious confrontation. Positive, courageous steps by both sides are needed to avert a catastrophe that could destabilize economic, political, and security conditions in Asia and hobble global economic development.

I lived, worked, and studied in Japan for many years, witnessed the turbulence that has become so much a part of the alliance, and am increasingly worried about where the alliance is headed. I am also convinced that the health and well-being of the peoples of Asia and the United States must continue to be based on sound and stable relations between Japan and the United States. In this book, which is designed for both college students and the general reader, I examine the factors that are undermining mutual understanding, expose the risks of further misunderstanding, and seek out constructive policies for mutual cooperation.

The effort to achieve such cooperation requires Americans to recognize some facts about Japanese life. Japan has a political and economic system riddled with alliances and special relationships that make dealing with the country on economic issues exceedingly difficult. It is especially frustrating for those trying to trace the source of power in the Japanese system.
