From Trade Negotiations to Boardrooms: An Insider’s View of Japan’s Ongoing Economic Evolution

Описание: Inflation pressures, labor shortages, productivity gaps, supply-chain realignment and U.S.–China decoupling.

Japan now finds itself at the center of multiple global transitions at once.

On February 11, we are pleased to welcome Glen S. Fukushima, Visiting Fellow at Stanford University, as a special guest on the Japan Expert Insights podcast.

Few individuals have both shaped and observed U.S.–Japan economic relations from the inside the way Mr. Fukushima has. From negotiating trade issues at the Office of the United States Trade Representative, to leading major multinational corporations in Japan, to advising policymakers as a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, his career spans government, business, and academia at the highest levels.

In this episode, we will examine Japan’s economy and global positioning through the lens of four decades of firsthand experience. It’s a conversation for those who want to understand not just what is happening in Japan today, but why it is important and what comes next.

We will go live at 8:00 a.m. JST on Wednesday, February 11. Save the date and tune in for a candid conversation that connects history, policy, and global business, and looks ahead to Japan’s future.
