Emerging technologies and geopolitical divides: The transformation of the US-Japan alliance
A complex set of new realities is taking shape in Asia where rising powers like China and India wield new influence and challenge American global dominance. However, despite Asia’s rise as a unified phenomenon, there is competition between nations, and suspicions and counterbalances remain.
