  • Economic Growth, Energy, and Economic Partnership: Japan’s Current Obstacles and New Opportunities

    May 3, 2013

    • Audio
    • Transcript
  • In a country [like Japan] where pork barrel projects have been rampant, infrastructure projects that seek to cater to the needs of construction companies have been a very common fact of political life. That it's in an electoral year gives me plenty of reasons to worry that when you are putting together a very hefty stimulus package, you are indeed using it in a wise manner and not just for the sake of spending to generate political support.

    April 5, 2013, Mireya Solís, Council on Foreign Relations
  • What makes me more hopeful is that I see a positive convergence between the domestic efforts, the economic strategy, and what's been going on in the trade front. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Three more [Trans-Pacific Partnership] countries have to say yes to the plan, including the United States. There are many different hurdles, and we will have to see how it turns out in the future.

    April 5, 2013, Mireya Solís, Council on Foreign Relations
  • There's been this desire to not add fuel to the fire, and [for Japan] to have stable relations with China. I think everybody understands what tragic consequences could arise from using a very nationalist rhetoric that would be quite self-defeating.

    April 5, 2013, Mireya Solís, Council on Foreign Relations
  • It seems to me that when you want an ambassador, two very important assets are proximity to the president—which [Caroline Kennedy] clearly has—and visibility. There has been a pattern in the past of appointing high-profile people to this post and that [Ms. Kennedy's nomination] would fit into the pattern. This is a complicated region, but she has those two very important assets.

  • Asia is an economic dynamo, and the [Obama] administration very much wants to be in the region. At a time of limited resources, it's difficult to fund the rebalancing [to Asia], so the value of alliances increases.

  • Free Trade Game Changer

    January 17, 2013, Mireya Solís and Justin Vaïsse

  • [While quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan] may have an effect on the exchange rate, it is not the same as outright currency intervention. Moreover, the U.S. would be hard pressed to criticize Japan as the [Federal Reserve] has also resorted to quantitative easing to avoid deflationary pressures.

  • Big Bets and Black Swans: Foreign Policy Challenges for President Obama’s Second Term

    January 17, 2013

  • What’s really important here is that, in contrast to [Shinzo Abe's] previous administration, he’s decided not to visit China. The preference is a robust relation with the U.S. That’s a priority, but Southeast Asia is going to be a very important partner given the relationship with China is so rocky.

    January 9, 2013, Mireya Solís, Voice of America
  • Mr. Abe's long-cherished objectives of constitutional revision, embrace of collective defense, and — in the run up to this election — his self-cultivated image as someone capable of taking a tough stance with China on the territorial dispute, does create concern among Japan's neighbors...But the newly elected prime minister also understands that despite the landslide victory of his party, the LDP does not enjoy widespread popular support.

  • [The Trans-Pacific Partnership] isn’t about marginalizing China, but about defining the agenda [for economic policy in the region].

  • Can the TPP Save Prime Minister Noda’s Political Career?

  • But there are also important political considerations that have acted as roadblocks. FTAs are inter-governmental negotiations and when diplomatic relations are strained because of historical or territorial issues, the impetus for these official trade negotiations wanes.
