In June 2000, IFPA and the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) launched a joint two-year study entitled Enhancing Joint Crisis Management Capabilities: Issues and Policy Options for Japan-U.S. Cooperation. The study will examine issues and policy options on joint crisis management between Japan and the United States. Through a series of case studies, the project will explore how Tokyo and Washington can better prepare for and respond to an array of crisis scenarios ranging from traditional security threats to emerging challenges. The study will also anticipate the multiplicity of organizational and policy implications of a joint response to future crises.
The overall project will produce a monograph-length study that examines:
a) Emerging threats and potential future crises
b) National requirements for crisis management
c) Policy options for joint Japan-U.S. crisis response
The joint project team will also convene three workshops-one each in Washington, D.C., Tokyo, and Boston-to identify analytical concepts and develop concrete policy recommendations. The Washington, D.C., workshop was held on November 29, 2000, and the Tokyo workshop was held on April 10-11, 2002.
