Views from the Next Generation is a series of policy briefs that offer recommendations for the most significant challenges facing Japan and its international partners today. Annually since 2014, leading and emerging scholars have brought their expertise to bear on issues from peacekeeping to nuclear deterrence to disaster management. Stimson’s Japan Program, led by Director Yuki Tatsumi, has compiled these short policy essays into volumes that provide insight into the views of younger scholars and experts on critical issues.
