  Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  
  The panic is over, writes CNAPS Guest Scholar Naoki Abe. The outlook for the U.S. economy has brightened as the worst period for financial institutions is passing.

The political and military profile of Asia is changing rapidly, however.

  Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

  Michael O'Hanlon believes North Korea's recent nuclear declaration is good news, but he also warns the U.S. must remain cautious about the outcome.

• On Sino-Japanese Tensions and the U.S. Approach

  Sat, 01 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's landslide victory on September 11 was well expected but mysterious. Well expected because it really was predetermined as Koizumi, again, had outmaneuvered his opponents with his masterful ride on voters' anxiety and strong (but unclear) desire for changes. Mysterious because the China factor, a key element in stirring up such anxiety and desire, was hardly mentioned during the entire campaign, despite the unprecedented appearance of five Chinese naval ships in the disputed waters in the East China Sea at the eve of the election.
