A Comparative Analysis of U.S. and Japan Foreign Aid Policies for Disaster Reduction
April 2013, Goshi Tsukamoto
In this CNAPS Visiting Fellow Working Paper, Goshi Tsukamoto analyzes the natural disaster relief policies of the United States and Japan, and their responses to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Tsukamoto identifies the complementary strengths of the United States and Japan in disaster relief, proposes ways for them to work together, and considers how a framework for partnership could be a model for broader multilateral collaboration.
